Solution

The correct option is A Lysosome
Lysosomes are the smallest single membrane bound organelles that contain acid hydrolase enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
