The “transport highway system” within the cell
A
golgi apparatus
B
cell membrane
C
large vacuole
D
endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Endoplasmic reticulum is a part of the cell that serves as the intracellular highway.

Detailed explanation-2: -The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is, in essence, the transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding. It is a type of organelle made up of two subunits – rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).

Detailed explanation-3: -These shuttle across the cytoplasm to the GOLGI APPARATUS. Thus the rough E.R. and the Golgi apparatus and vesicles are part of the cell’s highway system because they are involved in moving proteins around the cell and to the outside of the cell. This cell’s highway system is called PROTEIN TRAFFICKING.

Detailed explanation-4: -The ER is the gateway to the entire secretory pathway for the synthesis, modification, and quality control of most of the cell’s building blocks that traffic through the Golgi apparatus to reach their final destination [1, 2].
