this is the site of protein synthesis in a cell
A
ribosome
B
nucleolus
C
vacuole
D
cytoskeleton
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes are the sites in a cell in which protein synthesis takes place. Cells have many ribosomes, and the exact number depends on how active a particular cell is in synthesizing proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes can be found as free structures in the cytoplasm or strung along mRNA molecules as they participate in protein synthesis. Ribosomes also stud the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), giving it a rough appearance and enabling protein synthesis within the ER.

Detailed explanation-3: -A ribosome is an intercellular structure made of both RNA and protein, and it is the site of protein synthesis in the cell. The ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence and translates that genetic code into a specified string of amino acids, which grow into long chains that fold to form proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins.
