Solution

The correct option is B Lysosomes and mitochondria
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, 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.
The mitochondria is the site where the ATP synthesis takes place after the process of respiration. This is known as the power house of the cell which makes the energy currency of the cell.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
