D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main components of the cytoplasm are cytosol (a gel-like substance), the organelles (the cell’s internal sub-structures), and various cytoplasmic inclusions. The cytoplasm is about 80% water and is usually colorless. Components of a typical animal cell: Nucleolus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most of the water in the body is intracellular fluid. The second largest volume is the interstitial fluid, which surrounds cells that are not blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -It provides an interconnection between the nucleus and all organelles. The main substance of the cytoplasm is water-60%–90% of the total weight of the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-4: -The portion of the cytoplasm surrounding organelles is called cytosol, which is the liquid part of the cytoplasm. It is composed of about 80 percent water and also contains dissolved salts, fatty acids, sugars, amino acids, and proteins such as enzymes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytoplasm is the gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell. It is composed of water, salts, and various organic molecules. Some intracellular organelles, such the nucleus and mitochondria, are enclosed by membranes that separate them from the cytoplasm.
