The nucleus is responsible for producing ribosomes, specifically the nucleolus within the nucleus. The nucleolus synthesizes and assembles the two subunits of ribosomes. Once the ribosomal subunits are assembled, they exit the nucleus through the nuclear pores and move to the cytoplasm, where they can then begin to function in protein synthesis. The mitochondria are responsible for producing ATP, the Golgi apparatus is responsible for processing and modifying proteins, and peroxisomes are responsible for breaking down fatty acids and detoxifying harmful substances.

The correct option is 1.
