Involves in Lipid Synthesis and detoxification of drugs and pesticides
A
Ribosomes
B
Rough endoplasmic Reticulum
C
Smooth endoplasmic Reticulum
D
Golgi Appartus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Smooth endoplasmic reticulum in liver cells of vertebrates helps in detoxifying poisons and drugs. It contains enzymes that catalyze a number of reactions that can make lipid-soluble drugs and metabolic wastes into water-soluble so that these can easily be expelled out from the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is devoted almost exclusively to the manufacture of lipids, and in some cases the metabolism of lipids and their associated products. Smooth ER synthesizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids. It also carries out the metabolism of carbohydrates and drug detoxification.

Detailed explanation-3: -Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER) is (a part of) endoplasmic reticulum that is tubular in form and lacks ribosomes. It is present in eukaryotic cells and is associated with lipid synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, regulation of calcium concentration, and drug detoxification.
