Translation takes place in the c ribosome.
Explanation: In the process of translation, the ribosome reads the messenger RNA (mRNA) and synthesizes proteins by linking amino acids together in the order specified by the mRNA sequence. While the cytoplasm contains ribosomes and is the location where translation occurs, it is specifically the ribosomes that are the actual sites of translation. The endoplasmic reticulum plays a role in the synthesis and processing of proteins, but the translation itself occurs at the ribosomes.
