The brain or “control center” of the cell.
A
Mitochondria
B
Cell Membrane
C
Cytoplasm
D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is like the remote control center of the cell. It acts as the cell’s brain by telling it what to do, how to grow, and when to reproduce. The nucleus is home to the cell’s genes. A membrane, a thin layer that allows chemicals to pass in and out to the rest of the cell, surrounds the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because nucleus contains a material called gene which controls all activities of cell and its characteristics. Cell nuclei contain most of the cell’s genetic material, organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with histones, to form chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell’s entire activity is monitored by the nucleus. It serves as the control room for cell functions as well as the repository for the cell’s DNA. It stores a cell’s genetic information and regulates its growth and proliferation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus is considered as the control center of the cell as it has all the information for controlling the various components of the cell and keeping the cell alive.

Detailed explanation-5: -The presence of a nucleus is the principal feature that distinguishes eukaryotic from prokaryotic cells. By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center.
