Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. Trans face.

In the Golgi apparatus, the maturing face is the trans-face. 

The Golgi apparatus has two distinct sides, or faces, that are functionally different. The cis-face acts as the receiving end, positioned near the endoplasmic reticulum to accept vesicles containing proteins and lipids. The contents are then modified and sorted as they move through the stacks of cisternae. The trans-face is the exit or maturing face. From here, the final products are packaged into new vesicles and transported to their specific destinations within or outside the cell.
