Solution

The correct option is C Crinophagy
Lysosomes carry a variety of hydrolytic enzymes. Lysosomes show polymorphism. There are different forms of lysosomes. Crinophagy is the term which is used to describe the disposal of excess secretory granules by lysosomes. This is a process in which excess amounts of hormone are fused with lysosomes to degrade the hormones. This digestion of the hormones is performed in the hormone vesicles.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
