Answer:

B. They are broken down.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rough endoplasmic reticulum, thanks to the presence of ribosomes, is responsible for much of the cell's protein production. The proteins manufactured in the RER ribosomes penetrate the pouches and move towards the Golgi apparatus, passing through the narrow and tortuous channels of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
