The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The proteins formed on ribosomes pass into the ER lumen where they are modified. Then the modified proteins move on into the transitional area, where the ER buds off membranous sacs, the transport vesicles, carrying the proteins to the Golgi apparatus. Here, they are further processed and packaged into secretory vesicles for export

Eurkaryotic Cells - Golgi Apparatus

The Golgi apparatus is also known as the Golgi complex or the Golgi body. The term is derived from Camillo Golgi, the scientist who discovered the organelle. It can be found in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and animals. They are membrane-bound organelles found in the cell's cytoplasm

Formation of acrosome: The acrosome is a component of the tip of animal sperms that aids in the digestion of the egg or ovum covering sheath during fertilisation. The Golgi complex produces it with the help of its vesicles.
