d. mitochondrion
Translation occurs at ribosomes. Ribosomes hold mRNA and facilitate protein synthesis. The Golgi apparatus modifies proteins, the nucleus houses DNA (not directly involved in translation - mRNA is transported out), and mitochondria produce energy. So the structure that holds mRNA during translation is the ribosome.
