In many cells, the structure that controls the cell’s activities is the
A
cell membrane
B
organelle
C
nucleolus
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is the largest and most significant living organelle of the cell. All cell activities of the cell are regulated by the nucleus. Hence it is called brain or control centre of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus, formed by a nuclear membrane around a fluid nucleoplasm, is the control center of the cell. Threads of chromatin in the nucleus contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the genetic material of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -nucleoplasm and nucleolus. It controls all the activities of the cell by synthesizing rRNA and releasing into the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. The rRNA moves into the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nuclei contain the genetic material called DNA that is responsible for controlling and directing all cell activities.

Detailed explanation-5: -By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center.
