The answer is C) because if the scientist is seeing a lot of ribosomes, then the cell definitely is specialized and the ribosomes are where the cell produces protein.

I hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

C) The cell needs to produce a lot of protein, so it must be specialized.

Explanation:

If a cell has a lot of ribosomes then it simply means transcriptionally it is very active. Such cells are said to have dense cytoplasm. Having more ribosomes and more transcriptional activity means that this cell has to produce more proteins as compared to other normal cells which do not have much ribosomes. It is a specialized cell which is meant to produce more and more proteins for a specialized function.
