Explanation / Answer

Removal of 3 mannose residues is known as a process called mannose trimming. This process is required to transport of proteins and proper protein folding. The mannose residues are cleaved by mannosidase that cleaves 2 mannose residues at rough ER and transport the protein to Golgi complex where, the 3rd mannose residue is cleaved by endoglycosidase D. Thus, option 5 is correct.
