Solution

The correct option is A Lysosome
  • Cell organelle connected with intracellular digestion of macromolecules is Lysosome.
  • Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles which are capable of breaking down biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.
  • They contain acid hydrolases or digestive enzymes that digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, engulfed viruses or bacteria and macromolecules.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Lysosome'.
