Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct
The assertion is incorrect because lysosomes contain about 50 different degradative enzymes that can hydrolyze proteins, DNA, RNA, polysaccharides, and lipids.
The reason is correct because the function of autophagosomes is to take up damaged molecules or organelles and carry this cargo to lysosomes. Cells that could degrade their own components are autophagy cells and hence lysosome is known as the 'suicidal bag of the cell'.
So, option (D) is correct.
