Solution

The correct option is C Ribosomal subunits leave the nucleus after being formed by the nucleolus.
Ribosomes dont have DNA.Ribosomes synthesize proteins not carbohydrates70 S s ribosomes are found in prokaryotes.Ribosomal subunits leave the nucleus after being formed by the nucleolus as they help in protein synthesis that occurs in cytoplasm.

Read the passage and answer the following question.

Ribosomes are the smallest cell organelles which can be seen only through an electron microscope. They are found in both prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic cells. Ribosomes are dense, round bodies which occur freely in the cytoplasm and may remain attached to the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum. Chemically, ribosomes are made up of ribonucleoprotein (in eukaryotic cells, the constituent of the ribosome is 40% protein and 60% ribosomal RNA). Ribosomes help in the process of protein synthesis. They are, therefore, called as the protein factories of the cell.
