A
Mitochondria
B
Ribosome
C
Nucleus
D
Cytoplasm
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: -Synthesis of new proteins starts in the nucleus, where ribosomes get their instruction to begin the process. Sections of DNA (genes), encoding a specific protein, are copied over to messenger RNA (mRNA) strands in a process called transcription.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm on ribonucleoprotein particles, the ribosomes.
