Correct Answer
D golgi body
Correct Answer

Detailed Explanation

The nucleolus is a specialized region within the nucleus where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is transcribed, processed, and assembled with proteins to form ribosomal subunits. tRNA synthesis occurs elsewhere in the nucleus. The Golgi body modifies and packages proteins.

Hint

This structure is the ribosome factory, busy making their RNA and assembling their parts.
