The correct option is B Lysosomes
Lysosomes is the main digestive compartment of the cell. As such, they contain a variety of enzymes capable of degrading different types of biological material, including nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins among others. A majority of the lysosomal enzymes functions inside the acidic enviornment, which is why they referred to as acid hydrolases.
