A. Golgi body

B. Mitochondria

C. Endoplasmic reticulum

D. Glyoxysomes

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Glycosphingolipids and glycoproteins are synthesized in Golgi body.
The Golgi body is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. It resides at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways.
It is of particular importance in processing proteins for secretion, containing a set of glycosylation enzymes that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus.
