Contains enzymes for breaking down food and other material
A
Golgi Body/Apparatus
B
Vacuole
C
Lysosomes
D
Ribosomes
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: -Lysosomes are membrane-enclosed compartments filled with hydrolytic enzymes that are used for the controlled intracellular digestion of macromolecules. They contain about 40 types of hydrolytic enzymes, including proteases, nucleases, glycosidases, lipases, phospholipases, phosphatases, and sulfatases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Those enzymes are called hydrolytic enzymes, and they break down large molecules into small molecules. For example, large proteins into amino acids, or large carbohydrates into simple sugars, or large lipids into single fatty acids.

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: -The organelles that contain digestive enzymes that break down waste material and debris in a cell in a cell are called lysosomes. Lysosomes are membrane-bound structures that will release digestive enzymes onto debris and waste materials in a cell to recycle the components of these structures.
