The answer is A - Ribosome.

Protein synthesis is probably one of the most vital aspects of what cells do. It occurs in ribosome and is different for prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is important to know that proteins represent the building block for a lot of tissues which is why their importance cannot be overstated.
