This is a sac-like structure that contains digestive enzymes. It may digest waste materials or even dead cells.
A
ER
B
Lysosome
C
Vacuole
D
Vesicle
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed organelles that contain an array of enzymes capable of breaking down all types of biological polymers-proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.

Detailed explanation-2: -A lysosome is a membrane-bound cell organelle that contains digestive enzymes. Lysosomes are involved with various cell processes. They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lysosome is an organelle that contains digestive enzymes and acts as the organelle-recycling facility of an animal cell. It breaks down old and unnecessary structures so their molecules can be reused. Lysosomes are part of the endomembrane system, and some vesicles that leave the Golgi are bound for the lysosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in every eukaryotic cell. They are widely known as terminal catabolic stations that rid cells of waste products and scavenge metabolic building blocks that sustain essential biosynthetic reactions during starvation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes have powerful enzymes and acids to digest and recycle cell materials. Credit: Judith Stoffer. Proteins aren’t the only type of cellular waste. Cells also have to recycle compartments called organelles when they become old and worn out.
