Solution

The correct option is B

Lysosomes


Lysosomes are called "the suicide bags" of the cell. They contain digestive enzymes that break down wastes, foreign substances and cellular debris. Apart from these, lysosomes also digest cells by their own protein digesting enzymes, leading to cell death or apoptosis.
