Solution

The correct option is A Lysosomes
The Suffix "clast" in general means destruction. Thus, bone-destroying cells will be called osteoclasts and cartilage destroying cells will be called chondroclasts. The destruction is carried out by the hydrolytic activity of hydrolyzing enzymes stored in lysosomes. Thus, lysosomes are most abundant in phagocytic cells like WBC and chondroclasts, and osteoclasts.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
