Solution

The correct option is D Lysosome
Lysosomes show polymorphism because of its different shape and functions
Primary lysosomes are newly formed lysosomes, also called as protolysosomes. Heterolysosomes or digestive vacuoles or heterophagosomes are formed by the fusion of primary lysosome and phagosome. Residual lysosome has undigested material. Autophagic lysosome performs autophagy. Heterolysosomes, autophagic lysosomes and residual lysosomes are together called as secondary lysosomes.
