Solution

The correct option is A Hydrolases
Lysosomes have very powerful enzymes known as acid hydrolases that are active at acidic pH. Acid hydrolases use water to break bonds and split macromolecules into micromolecules.

Lyases are enzymes that help in breaking down bonds without the involvement of water.

Oxidoreductases help in the transfer of electrons from an electron donor to an electron acceptor in chemical reactions.

Ligases help in joining two molecules together to form a larger molecule by establishing a chemical bond.
