○ nucleus

Explanation:

To determine the cell organelle containing DNA, we analyze each option:

• Cytoplasm: A gel - like substance holding organelles, not the main DNA - storage site.
• Ribosome: Involved in protein synthesis, has no DNA.
• Mitochondria: Has its own small amount of DNA, but the cell’s main DNA is elsewhere.
• Nucleus: Known as the “control center” of the cell, it houses the cell’s genetic material (DNA) in eukaryotic cells.

D. nucleus
