Select the part of the cell that is the region between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
A
Organelle
B
Nucleus
C
Chromatin
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The fluid-filled region between the nucleus and the cell membrane is called the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoplasm comprises the contents of a cell between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope (a structure to be discussed shortly). It is made up of organelles suspended in the gel-like cytosol, the cytoskeleton, and various chemicals (Find it in Figures 1-3).

Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoplasm The part of the cell referred to as cytoplasm is slightly different in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. In eukaryotic cells, which have a nucleus, the cytoplasm is everything between the plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope.

Detailed explanation-4: -This membrane is actually a set of two lipid bilayers, so there are four sheets of lipids separating the inside of the nucleus from the cytoplasm. The space between the two bilayers is known as the perinuclear space.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nuclear envelope separates the contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm and provides the structural framework of the nucleus. The nuclear membranes, acting as barriers that prevent the free passage of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, maintain the nucleus as a distinct biochemical compartment.
