Solution

The correct option is C Lysosome
Lysosomes are membrane-bounded organelles which contain 40 different types of hydrolytic enzymes that help in digestion. It acts as the "garbage disposal" of the cell. Lysosomes digest foreign macromolecules and engulfed viruses and bacteria presenting in phagosomes. Lysosomes also break down cell components that are no longer needed.
So the right answer is option C.
