Solution

The correct option is C They can digest proteins, lipids but not carbohydrates
Lysosomes are single membrane-bound vesicular structures. They are rich in hydrolytic enzymes such as lipases, proteases and carbohydrases. These enzymes help in digestion of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.
Autophagy is degradation or the breakdown of the cell’s own components and is a function of lysosomes.
