D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the cellular components listed: nucleus, cytosol, Golgi apparatus, and ribosomes, and their general functions in eukaryotic cells.
Recall that DNA is the genetic material that stores the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.
Recognize that in eukaryotic cells, DNA is primarily located within a membrane-bound organelle called the nucleus, which protects and organizes the DNA.
Note that the cytosol is the fluid part of the cytoplasm where many metabolic reactions occur, but it does not contain DNA.
Understand that the Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying and packaging proteins, and ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis, neither of which contain DNA.
