Solution

The correct option is D Nucleus
Golgi apparatus is an organelle present in the cell and structurally possess series of compartments. Golgi apparatus has the main function of modifying, sorting and packaging the proteins which are synthesized by cells. Golgi bodies are also involved in the transport of lipid molecules across the cell. Golgi bodies also create lysosomes.
Mitochondria produce the energy in the form of ATP of the cell. It consists its own DNA and called as mitochondrial DNA and not the DNA of the cell.
The nucleolus is the largest structure present in the nucleus. Ribosome synthesis and assemblage occurs in nucleolus region. The nucleus is bound with the double membrane in a eukaryotic cell in which most of the genetic material is present. The genetic material contains DNA and RNA. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
