Solution

The correct option is B Lysosomes
Disintegration of tadpole tail requires digestion of tail tissue, which is achieved by very high lysosomal enzymatic activity.Lysosomal enzymes help macrophagic cells to digest cell debris that they remove. The enzymes could also be released inside the cell to achieve cell lysis.
So, the correct option is B. (lysosomes)
