Answer

C. Ribosome\text{C. Ribosome}

The question asks for the cell structure composed of RNA and proteins that acts as the physical site for translation and protein synthesis.

  • Peroxisomes are involved in metabolic processes and detoxification.
  • Lysosomes are involved in waste breakdown.
  • Ribosomes are complexes of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins, and they are the cellular machinery responsible for synthesizing proteins through the process of translation.
  • The Nucleolus is where ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is synthesized and ribosomes are assembled, but it is not the site of protein translation itself.

Therefore, the correct answer is Ribosome.

C. Ribosome
C. Ribosome\text{C. Ribosome}
