Options

D Ribosome
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Centrioles are absent in most plant cells. Plant cells use other structures to organize their spindle fibers during cell division. Xylem is a complex tissue, not an organelle. Mitochondria and ribosomes are present in both plant and animal cells.
