The correct answer is:
A and D
All ribosomes are synthesized and assemble in nucleolus. Most of the protein are synthesized in cytosol of the cell. Some proteins that are produced in secretory cells are synthesized by ribosomes attach to rough endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membranes. These include the digestive enzymes produced in the stomach and the protein hormones like insulin produced in the pancreas.
