The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Ribosome.

Cells are broadly categorized into Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic forms. Despite their differences, all cells possess four fundamental components:

  1. A plasma membrane, which serves as an outer barrier, delineating the cell's interior from its external environment.

  2. Cytoplasm, a gel-like substance that houses various cellular structures and components.

  3. DNA, the genetic material responsible for carrying hereditary information within the cell.

  4. Ribosomes, molecular complexes essential for protein synthesis.
