A
Rough E.R.
B
Smooth E.R.
C
Golgi Bodies
D
Lysosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The organelle called ‘endoplasmic reticulum’ occurs in both plants and animals and is a very important manufacturing site for lipids (fats) and many proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lipids can be transported out from the ER by lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) that often, although not always, function at membrane contact sites.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main function of the smooth ER is to make cellular products like hormones and lipids. It also distributes those products throughout the cell and to places in the organism. The smooth ER also regulates and releases calcium ions and processes toxins.

Detailed explanation-4: -The enzymes that synthesize the lipid components of lipoproteins are located in the membrane of the smooth ER, which also contains enzymes that catalyze a series of reactions to detoxify both lipid-soluble drugs and various harmful compounds produced by metabolism.
