Solution

The correct option is C Lysosome
Lysosomes are vesicles found in the cell that carry destructive (digestive) enzymes within them.
The digestive enzymes of lysosomes breakdown unwanted (waste) substances and worn out cell parts. Hence, they can be considered as the waste disposal system of the cell.
