The assertion that translation can occur in the absence of ribosomes is false. Ribosomes are essential for translation, which is the process of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are responsible for reading the mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence and facilitating the assembly of amino acids into a polypeptide chain.

The reason provided, stating that ribosomes are only required for the synthesis of proteins that are longer than 100 amino acids, is not accurate. Ribosomes are necessary for the translation of all proteins, regardless of their length. Ribosomes function as the machinery for protein synthesis, and they bind to mRNA and catalyze the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during translation.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
