Solution

The correct option is D Lysosomes
A lysosome is a small vesicle-like eukaryotic organelle. It contains hydrolytic enzymes that break down waste material and cellular debris. They can be described as the stomach of the cell. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles and engulfed viruses or bacteria. Thus, they are called as disposal system of the cell.
