Tiny holes that allow nutrients to enter the nucleus:
A
Cytoplasm
B
Mitochondria
C
Flagellum
D
Nuclear Pores
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nuclear envelope is perforated with tiny holes known as nuclear pores, which were first discovered in the mid-twentieth century. These pores regulate the passage of molecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm, permitting some to pass through the membrane, but not others.

Detailed explanation-2: -The outer membrane is also continuous with the inner nuclear membrane since the two layers are fused together at numerous tiny holes called nuclear pores that perforate the nuclear envelope.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nuclear Pores. All transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm occurs through large protein channels that are embedded in the nuclear membrane. These channels, which are called nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), are composed of proteins referred to as nucleoporins.

Detailed explanation-4: -A nuclear pore is a small hole in the nuclear envelope. Each nuclear pore is formed by a nuclear pore complex. Nuclear pores allow RNA and proteins to pass through the membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nuclear pores form the gateways connecting the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic cells with the cytoplasm. They are essentially fusions of the inner and outer nuclear membranes forming a connecting pore membrane and a “hole” in the nuclear envelope.
