Solution

The correct option is C Lysosome
Osteogenesis (breaking of fragile bones) and removal of dead cells are the functions of lysosomes. Lysosomes are abundantly found in the phagocytic cell. It is a membrane-bound cell organelle found in most animal cells. They are structurally and chemically spherical vesicles containing hydrolytic enzymes, which are capable of breaking down virtually all kinds of biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and cellular debris. Lysosomes are interlinked with three intracellular processes namely phagocytosis, endocytosis and autophagy.
