Solution

The correct option is A hydrolytic enzymes
Lysosomes are called as the ‘suicide bags’ of cells as they not only help in digestion of metabolic wastes but also in the autolysis or the breakdown of the cell itself. They are membrane-bound vesicular structures. They are rich in hydrolytic enzymes such as lipases, proteases, nucleases and carbohydrases. These enzymes help in digestion of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids.
