A Correct answer
Explanation

The nucleus acts as the control center of the cell because it houses the cell's genetic material (DNA) and coordinates activities like growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Other organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts have specialized metabolic functions but do not direct overall cellular activities. Cytoplasm is simply the fluid medium in which these organelles reside.
