Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The nucleolus is a distinct, dense structure found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is the site of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis and ribosome subunit assembly. Ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm or on the RER, centrosomes are near the nucleus, and vacuoles are in the cytoplasm.

Hint

This is the 'little nucleus' inside the nucleus, where ribosome parts are made.
