D
All of the above

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. These digestive enzymes help the cell to defend itself by digesting the pathogens. They also aid in digesting worn-out cells. Hence, they are called 'suicide bags of cells'. Genetic material is duplicated in the nucleus. Photosynthesis is performed by chloroplasts.
