A
Ribosomes
B
Lysosomes
C
Mitochondria
D
Chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes. In animal cells, the lysosomes are the cell’s “garbage disposal.” Digestive enzymes within the lysosomes aid the breakdown of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, and even worn-out organelles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells also have to recycle compartments called organelles when they become old and worn out. For this task, they rely on an organelle called the lysosome, which works like a cellular stomach.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes and peroxisomes. These organelles are the recycling center of the cell. They digest foreign bacteria that invade the cell, rid the cell of toxic substances, and recycle worn-out cell components.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.
