The command center of the cell which contains DNA/chromosomes, as well as the nucleolus.
A
ribosomes
B
cell membrane
C
nucleus
D
endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus (plural, nuclei) houses the cell’s genetic material, or DNA, and is also the site of synthesis for ribosomes, the cellular machines that assemble proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleus. The nucleus serves as the cell’s command center, sending directions to the cell to grow, mature, divide, or die. It also houses DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the cell’s hereditary material.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromosomes are present in the nucleus, not nucleolus. The nucleus is surrounded by nucleus membrane, s not cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nucleus is one of the most obvious parts of the cell when you look at a picture of the cell. It’s in the middle of the cell, and the nucleus contains all of the cell’s chromosomes, which encode the genetic material.
