Solution

The correct option is C Hydrolase
  • Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles which are capable of breaking down biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.
  • They contain acid hydrolases or digestive enzymes that digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, engulfed viruses or bacteria and macromolecules.
  • They can also digest or damage its own cell causing the cell death (autolysis) therefore, they are also known as suicidal bags.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Hydrolase'.
