Solution
The correct option is D Lysosome
The lysosomes are the cellular organelles containing the hydrolytic enzymes which help in the metabolism of the complex and toxic compounds. The alcohol which is consumed is degraded and digested by the lysosomes which decrease the rate of digestion of the other complexes like the proteins. This decreased lysosomal activity leads to liver damage. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
