A 2-year-old boy is brought into the clinic by his parents, who are concerned about his development. They state that his motor development (especially the range of motion of his joints) is delayed when compared to his older siblings, and that he is much smaller than other children his age. His face appears to have coarse features, and enlargement of the liver and spleen is noted. What function, which contributes to the pathophysiology of this disease, is compromised?
A. Assembly of ribosomes
B. Degradation of proteins
C. Glycosylation of newly synthesized proteins
D. Transcription of RNA
E. Translation of peptide chains
