Solution

The correct option is D Ribosome
Ribosomes are cell organelles without a membrane enclosing it, so called as membraneless or amembranous organelle. These are the only cell organelle found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells have 70S ribosomes while eukaryotic cells have 80S ribosomes. The function of ribosomes is protein synthesis.
