Solution

The correct option is D nucleus, cytoplasm

DNA gets transcribed into mRNA within the nucleus. This mRNA moves out through the nuclear pores into the cytoplasm for protein synthesis.

Translation of mRNA to protein takes place in the cytoplasm with the help of ribosomes. The ribosomes can be attached to the endoplasmic reticulum or can be free-floating in the cytoplasm.
