Ribosome
B
Endoplasmic Reticulum
C
Nucleus
D
Cell Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(c) The ER (endoplasmic reticulum) functions both as passageway for intracellular transport and as a manufacturing surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endoplasmic reticulum consists of a network of a tube-like passageway through which proteins from the ribosomes are able to be moved within a cell as the road system allows for movement throughout the city.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ER consists of the nuclear envelope and the peripheral ER, which includes smooth tubules and rough sheets. While the ER is defined as an interconnected network with a continuous membrane, the different structures that make up the ER perform very diverse and specialized functions within the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins and lipids are carried from the ER to the Golgi in transport vesicles that bud from the membrane of the ER and then fuse to form the vesicles and tubules of the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC).
