The route that most accurately describes the movement of a secreted protein through the endomembrane system is:
a) Golgi apparatus → smooth endoplasmic reticulum → lysosome → vesicles → plasma membrane
b) plasmid → plasma membrane → nuclear envelope → smooth endoplasmic reticulum → vesicles
c) nuclear envelope → vesicles → Golgi apparatus → rough endoplasmic reticulum → plasma membrane
d) lysosomes → rough endoplasmic reticulum → smooth endoplasmic reticulum → vesicles → plasma membrane
e) rough endoplasmic reticulum → vesicles → Golgi apparatus → vesicles → plasma membrane
