Which organelle contains ribosomal RNA and is involved in the production of ribosomes?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is  option 3 i.e.  Nucleolus. 
The nucleolus is a dense region within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It is the site where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is synthesized and combined with proteins to form the subunits of ribosomes. These subunits are then transported out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm, where they assemble into functional ribosomes essential for protein synthesis.
