Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The “Post office” of the cell that packages proteins and fats and gets them ready for delivery.
A
Rough ER
B
Smooth ER
C
Golgi Bodies
D
Lysosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus can be thought of as similar to a post office; it packages and labels “items” and then sends them to different parts of the cell. Both plant and animal cells have a Golgi apparatus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Golgi Body A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell. Named after its discoverer, Camillo Golgi, the Golgi body appears as a series of stacked membranes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi bodies are regarded as the cell’s post office. It packs protein molecules in the cell and sends them to their destination. It assists in the processing and packaging of lipids and proteins produced by the cell. It causes vesicles to be transported to their final destination.

Detailed explanation-5: -In plant cells, the Golgi body also serves as the site for the synthesis of complex polysaccharides. The Golgi body contains Golgi stacks, which can be thought of as a series of trafficking pathways that work by modifying protein and other complex polysaccharides.
