Answer: Option C. "Ribosomes"

Step-by-step explanation:

The organelles responsible for the production of proteins within the cell are the ribosomes.

A ribosome is known as the protein synthesis site in the cell. Ribosome contains a large and a small subunit, each of which consists of ribosomal proteins and rRNA (ribosomal RNA). During protein synthesis the messenger RNA or mRNA moves through the ribosome and amino acids attached to transfer RNA or tRNAs comes to the ribosome. As a result, the amino acids joined to produce the protein.

Thus, the correct option is Ribososmes.
