Solution

The correct option is C Lysosome
  • The lysosome is a membrane-bounded organelle found in animal cells. They contain hydrolytic enzymes that are capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers.
  • When a cell dies or the organelle is damaged, the enzymes released by the lysosomes clears the cell debris and even it is able to break its own proteins by the process of autolysis and so-known as the suicide bags.
Thus, the correct answer is option C
