B) Ribosome

Proteins within a cell are primarily produced by the ribosomes. Ribosomes can be found floating freely within the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, forming what is known as the rough endoplasmic reticulum. They translate the genetic instructions (mRNA) that come from the nucleus into polypeptide chains, which are then folded into functional proteins.
