Answer: A) Smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation: The SER or smooth endoplasmic reticulum, plays a function in a few metabolic activities. Steroids, lipids and phospholipids are some of the byproducts produced by this organ. SER is overexpressed in cells that naturally generate these hormones, such as those in the ovaries, sebaceous glands and testes. It is a component of the cell membrane.
