Brief Explanations

The nucleolus is a sub - structure within the nucleus. Its main function is ribosome assembly. DNA in the nucleolus codes for ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and rRNA combines with ribosomal proteins to form ribosomal subunits. These subunits are then transported out of the nucleus to form functional ribosomes in the cytoplasm. The other options describe functions of the nucleus as a whole or other organelles.

Answer:

A. It is where the ribosomes are assembled.
