Solution

The correct option is C to regulate the assembly of microtubules
Centrosomes are structures found inside of cells. They are made from two centrioles. Centrioles are microtubule rings. The main purpose of a centrosome is to organise microtubules and provide structure for the cell, as well as to work to pull chromatids apart during cell division.
