Solution

The correct option is C Cellulose
The lysosomes are the organelles which contain the hydrolytic enzymes. There are lipases which can act on the lipids. Glycosidase is the enzyme which can break down the glycosidic bonds in the glycogen and starch. Cellulose cannot be broken down since there is no cellulase enzyme present in the lysosomes. The cellulosic bonds in the cellulose can be cleaved by the cellulase enzyme which is produced by some bacteria.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
