Solution

The correct option is D Endosomes
  • Phagosome can be defined as the vesicles which are formed around a particle or a material that is engulfed by a phagocyte by the process known as phagocytosis.
  • Whereas, pinosomes are the vesicle which is filled with extracellular fluid and are formed by pinching the cell membrane inward through the process called pinocytosis.
  • They are collectively called endosomes.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Endosomes'.
