ExplanationQuestion 6

This question discriminated well. The most common incorrect response was B, chosen by candidates who placed nucleoli before lysosomes; a nucleolus (1–3 µm) is larger than a lysosome (0.2–0.5 µm).

Ribosomes (≈25 nm) are the smallest of the four structures listed, which rules out A and D immediately. The correct answer was C.
