C. Is the correct answer.

The protein is synthesized by the ribosome directly into rough ER (guided by signal sequence) the signal sequence is cleaved off and the protein is transported to golgi apparatus in vesicle. Golgi processes and packages protein into another vesicle which is transported to the cell membrane.
