Nucleus
B
Nuclear Membrane
C
Mitochondria
D
Chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nuclear envelope is a membrane similar to the cell membrane around the whole cell. There are pores and spaces for RNA and proteins to pass through while the nuclear envelope keeps all of the chromatin and nucleolus inside.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus is the control center of the cell. The nucleus of living cells contains the genetic material that determines the entire structure and function of that cell.
