Solution

The correct option is D Peroxisomes
Peroxisomes are small, membrane-enclosed organelles, that contain enzymes involved in a variety of metabolic reactions, including several aspects of energy metabolism. Phosphoglycolate is converted to glycolate and then transferred to peroxisomes, where it is oxidized and converted to glycine.
