Rough endoplasmic reticulum is a network or reticulum of tiny tubular structures scattered in the cytoplasm and bear ribosomes on their outer surface. These are involved in protein synthesis and secretion. They are extensive and continuous with the outer membrane of the nucleus.
Correct Option: C

Centrosome is an organelle usually containing two cylindrical structures called centrioles. The centrioles form the basal body of cilia or flagella. In chloroplast a number of organised flattened membranous sacs called the thylakoids are present in the stroma. Chlorophyll pigments are present in the thylakoids. Each mitochondrion is a double membrane bound structure. The inner membrane forms a number of infoldings called the cristae towards the matrix. The cristae increase the surface area.
Correct Option: A
