The correct statement is:

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

This statement accurately reflects the functions of the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The rough ER is studded with ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis, while the smooth ER is involved in various functions, including the synthesis of lipids and the detoxification of certain chemicals.
