Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) P–1, Q–3, R–2, S–5

Explanation

Lysosomes digest material, P–1. Smooth ER is important in lipid synthesis, Q–3. Golgi processes and sorts proteins for targeting, R–2. The nucleolus synthesizes rRNA and assembles ribosomal components, S–5. These give A.
