A Correct answer
Explanation

The nucleus acts as the control center of the cell because it houses the cell's genetic material (DNA). This genetic material contains instructions for making proteins and regulating all cellular activities. Other parts like the cytoplasm provide a medium for organelles, but do not direct cell activities.
