Solution
The correct option is D
Golgi Bodies
The proteins formed in their linear state are sent to the Golgi for modification. Here, proteins undergo folding and the functional proteins are packaged in vesicles and sent to its target site. If the cell is a secretory cell, then proteins are secreted out of the cell by the fusion of the protein carrying vesicle with the cell membrane.
