Solution

The correct option is A Hydrolytic enzymes
The acrosome is derived from the Golgi complex of the spermatid, i.e sperm. The acrosome lies between the plasma membrane in the anterior head region and the nuclear envelope and has its own set of membranes. The acrosome consists of a protein matrix core and contains numerous hydrolytic and glycolytic enzymes, which are important for fertilization. The acrosome is actually a regulated secretory vesicle.
So the correct option is 'hydrolytic enzymes'.
