Solution

The correct option is A Smooth Endoplasmic recticulum
Lipids are synthesised by the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and the proteins are synthesised by rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). Hence, endoplasmic reticulum synthesises cell membrane components, i.e., proteins and lipids, by the process of membrane biogenesis.
