Which of the following refers to a cluster of ribosomes?
A
tribosome
B
polyribosome
C
ribosome bunch
D
ribosome family
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polysome is a cluster of ribosomes held together by a strand of messenger RNA which each is translating.

Detailed explanation-2: -polyribosome. noun. poly·ri·bo·some-ˈrī-bə-ˌsōm. : a cluster of ribosomes linked together by a molecule of messenger RNA and forming the site of protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -A polyribosome (or polysome or ergosome) is a group of ribosomes bound to an mRNA molecule like “beads” on a “thread”. It consists of a complex of an mRNA molecule and two or more ribosomes that act to translate mRNA instructions into polypeptides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polyribosome structures are made of ribosomes connected by a strand of mRNA that runs between the large and small ribosomal subunits.
