See Concept 6.3 (Page 102) The nuclear envelope is a single membrane, consisting of a phospholipid bilayer. Plasmadesmosomes in the nuclear envelope permit the exchange of macromolecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. All of the proteins of the cell are synthesized on ribosomes bound on the nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum. The outer layer of the nuclear envelope is coated with laminin.

The correct answer is: The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum

The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is composed of two phospholipid bilayers (outer and inner) that surround the nucleus in the eukaryotic cell. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the perinuclear space. The nuclear envelop has nuclear pores that are responsible for the transport between nucleus and cytoplasm (e. g. transport of mRNA).
