The correct statement is:

Rough ER contains ribosomes, and smooth ER transports materials other than proteins.

Rough ER is involved in protein synthesis due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface, while smooth ER is involved in the synthesis of lipids and other functions, including detoxification and transport of materials, but not specifically proteins.
