Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Golgi apparatus

• Golgi apparatus is a cellular organelle which consists of folded and flattened membranes within the cytoplasm that is involved in secretion and helps in intracellular transport.
  
• Saliva, tears and sweat contain an enzyme called lysozyme which helps in the breakdown the cell walls.
  
• It helps in modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins and enzymes for secretion and also helps in the transportation of lipid and forms lysosomes.
  
• So, the correct answer is 'Golgi apparatus'.
