Solution

The correct option is D Catalases and oxidases
Catalases and oxidases are found in peroxisomes. Peroxisomes contain oxidative enzymes, such as catalase, D-amino acid oxidase, and uric acid oxidase. A major function of the peroxisome is the breakdown of very long chain fatty acids through β-oxidation.
