Translation occurs in the

nucleus
B
mitochondria
C
cytoplasm
D
golgi apparatus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm, where mRNA is read and translated into the string of amino acid chains that make up the synthesized protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas the major mRNA decay pathways operate in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -The eukaryotic nucleus therefore provides a distinct compartment within the cell, allowing transcription and splicing to proceed prior to the beginning of translation. Thus, in eukaryotes, while transcription occurs in the nucleus, translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
