the spontaneous breakdown of cells as they self-digest
A
rigor mortis
B
algor mortis
C
pupa/pupae
D
autolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Autolysis is the natural postmortem self-digestion of cells by their endogenous enzymes. When an organism dies, one of the processes that is triggered is cellular destruction by these internal enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Autophagy, or cellular self-digestion, is a cellular pathway involved in protein and organelle degradation, with an astonishing number of connections to human disease and physiology.

Detailed explanation-3: -In biology, autolysis, more commonly known as self-digestion, refers to the destruction of a cell through the action of its own enzymes. It may also refer to the digestion of an enzyme by another molecule of the same enzyme. The term derives from the Greek -("self") and ("splitting").

Detailed explanation-4: -Autolysis is the self destruction of cellular material by enzymes. This process is mainly seen postmortem during body decomposition, but there are certain infections, diseases, and experienced traumas that can cause premature autolysis when a host is alive.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of removal of dead or damaged cell organelles is known as autolysis. Autolysis is achieved with the help of lysosomes. Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes. If a cell becomes old or damaged, the enzyme digests it, and as a result, the cell will burst.
