The organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion is the: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The organelle that modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for secretion is the:
A. Rough ER
B. Golgi apparatus
C. Lysosome
D. Mitochondria
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The Golgi apparatus receives proteins from the rough ER, modifies them (e.g., glycosylation), sorts them, and packages them into vesicles for transport to the plasma membrane, lysosomes, or secretion. Lysosomes digest, rough ER synthesizes proteins, mitochondria generate ATP.
