Answer:

The correct answer will be option C- A structure upon which proteins are assembled.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ribosome is a complex molecule machine formed of proteins and rRNA molecules which acts as a site for the synthesis of the proteins.

These ribosomes are present in the cell as a free entity suspended in the cytosol or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Each ribosome is made up of a large and small component which translates the information coded in the mRNA in the form of codons to amino acids which join to form proteins.

Thus, option- C is the correct answer.
