Solution

The correct option is D Lysomes
A single unit membrane organelle is lysosomes. A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle found in most animal cells. They are structurally and chemically spherical vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes, which are capable of breaking down virtually all kinds of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and cellular debris. Lysosomes are interlinked with three intracellular processes namely phagocytosis, endocytosis and autophagy.
