Solution

The correct option is C Lysosome
Lysosomes are membranous cell organelles that contain hydrolytic enzymes within them.

A special structure known as a mesosome is formed by an extension of the plasma membrane into the cell wall. These extensions are usually in the form of vesicles, tubules, and lamellae.

A ribosome is a complex molecular machine found inside the living cells that produce proteins from amino acids during a process called protein synthesis or translation.

The microsomes are a heterogeneous set of vesicles 20-200nm in diameter and formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. The vesicles are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes.
