Solution

The correct option is B Lysosome
Lysosomes breakdown/digest macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), repair cell membranes, and respond against foreign substances such as bacteria, viruses and other antigens. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down the macromolecules and foreign invaders.
