Solution

The correct option is B Lysosome
Lysosomes are spherical bodies, or vacuoles that are enclosed by a single membrane. It contains different hydrolytic enzymes, such as proteases, lipases, and nucleases that are capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids) that enter the cell or are no longer useful to the cell
So, the correct answer is '
Lysosome'
