Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum. Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein translation and are composed of ribosomal RNA. So, the answer has to be A and C.

The right answer to this question is option D. Golgi apparatus.

First things first, you need to truly understand how the process of making a protein works since the DNA reading. After this reading, a single ribbon of mRNA is sent outside the cell, after that, this mRNA is read by the anticodons on the tRNA/ribosomes, and by that, simplifying it to you, the cell makes a protein, made of aminoacids.

But where are the organelles in this process? We already know one, ribosomes, they make the protein for the body, and after that, the protein is sent to the Golgi apparatus, it's here that this organelle will either add carbohydrates or just send the protein outside the cell through a secretion vesicle.
