Keratin is a protein that is synthesized in the cell's ribosomes. So, the correct answer is:
**the ribosomes**.
Ribosomes are responsible for translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. Once synthesized, keratin is assembled and processed in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus before being transported to its final location in the cell or outside the cell.
