Solution
The correct option is B Lysosomes ∙ Lysosomes are small vesicles of different shapes containing some digestive enzymes. These enzymes destroy and digest foreign substance around them. ∙ Many damaged cells are rapidly destroyed or dissolved by their own lysosomes and hence these are called suicide bags of the cell.
