Solution

The correct option is A Animal cells
A lysosome is a type of membrane-bound eukaryotic organelle and thus, present in both animal and plant cells. They have a single outer membrane consisting of a phospholipid bilayer and contain acid hydrolases which are enzymes capable of breaking down macromolecules, cell debris and foreign particles. They are generally found in the cytoplasm of animal or animal-like cells.
So, the correct answer is option A.
