Solution

The correct option is A Autolysis
Autolysis is the process wherein there is complete or partial destruction of cells or tissues by the lysosome. The lysosome fuses with the cell to be autolysed and releases its hydrolytic enzymes into the cytoplasm and causes the cell to lyse or kill itself.
Autophagy is the natural, regulated process in which the unnecessary components of the cell are digested or recycled.
