Answer 1

The correct option is A It is the post office of the cell.

$\bullet$ Golgi apparatus is called as the post office of the cell since it is involved in the packaging, processing and transportation of substances.
$\bullet$ SER (Smooth endoplasmic reticulum) is involved in detoxification and lipid synthesis, while RER is involved in protein synthesis. Ribosomes are not synthesised by the ER.
