Explanation:

Insulin is a peptide hormone, and ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein - peptide synthesis. Beta cells producing insulin would need more ribosomes for this synthesis process. Mitochondria are for energy production, microtubules are part of the cytoskeleton, and lysosomes are for waste breakdown.
