A
ribosomes
B
lysosomes
C
chloroplast
D
Golgi complex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Centrioles are found only in animal cells and are located near the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes (lysosome: from the Greek: lysis; loosen and soma; body) are found in nearly all animal and plant cells. In plant cells vacuoles can carry out lysosomal functions. Lysosomes appear initially as spherical bodies about 50-70nm in diameter and are bounded by a single membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Centrioles-Centrioles are self-replicating organelles made up of nine bundles of microtubules and are found only in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -lysosomes are rarely found in the plant cells. The plant cells have a hard and rigid cell wall structure that prevents the incoming of any pathogenic particle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: Centrioles and lysosomes are found only in animal cells and not in plant cells.
