B
Mitochondrion
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the organelle responsible for housing and protecting the cell's DNA in eukaryotic cells.
Recall that the ribosome is involved in protein synthesis, not DNA protection.
Understand that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, generating energy, but do not enclose DNA in the nucleus.
Recognize that the Golgi apparatus modifies and packages proteins, but does not contain DNA.
Conclude that the nucleus is the organelle that encloses and protects the cell's DNA, serving as the control center of the cell.
