These tiny organelles are the “factories” of the cell and make proteins.
A
mitochondria
B
ribosome
C
lysosome
D
chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ribosomes. Ribosomes are the protein factories of the cell. Composed of two subunits, they can be found floating freely in the cell’s cytoplasm or embedded within the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ribosomes are tiny spherical organelles that make proteins by joining amino acids together. Many ribosomes are found free in the cytosol, while others are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. The purpose of the ribosome is to translate messenger RNA (mRNA) to proteins with the aid of tRNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleolus: the ribosome factory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes synthesize proteins by gathering and assembling amino acids into protein chains. Since ribosomes are the only cell organelle involved in the synthesis of protein, they are called the protein factory of the cell.
