Solution

The correct option is A DNA
Golgi body has main function of modifying, sorting and packaging the proteins, which are synthesized by cells. Golgi bodies are also involved in transport of lipid molecules across the cell. Golgi bodies also create lysosomes.
Plastids are present in plant cells which synthesize and store important chemical compounds used by the cell. There are many types of plastids as chloroplast, chromoplast and leucoplasts. Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis and produce food.
Ribosomes are cell organelles, which are present in free or in bound
form. They are involved
in protein synthesis.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the genetic instructions, which are used in development and functioning of all living organisms. It is the hereditary material of the cell, which carries encoded information from one generation to the next.
So, the correct answer is option A.
