The correct option is C (a), (b) and (c)
Golgi body has the main function of modifying, sorting and packaging the proteins which are synthesized by cells. Linking of carbohydrates with proteins to form glycoproteins is one of the modifications carried out of protein by Golgi body. Golgi body also synthesizes hemicellulose, cellulose and pectin compound during cell division and hence, involved in cell wall formation in the plant. Lysosomes are membrane-bound cellular organelles. They possess many hydrolytic enzymes for the digestion of cellular waste, such as engulfed debris, killed viruses or bacteria.
