The correct statement is:

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

Rough endoplasmic reticulum (rough ER) is involved in the synthesis of proteins due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface, while smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) is involved in the synthesis of lipids and the detoxification of certain chemicals, but does not contain ribosomes and does not primarily transport proteins.
