C) On the endoplasmic reticulum

Ribosomes in both animal and plant cells are primarily located on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), specifically on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). These ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. While some ribosomes may also be found free-floating in the cytoplasm, the majority are associated with the rough ER.
