Best answer

Answer: 3. Golgi bodies

Key idea: Golgi bodies modify and package products from the ER.

Proteins and lipids from the ER reach the Golgi, where sugars are added to form glycoproteins and glycolipids. The ER mainly synthesises proteins and lipids, polysomes are sites of translation, and peroxisomes carry out oxidation reactions.
