A
To create energy for the cell
B
To command the cell what to do
C
To remove waste using digestive enzymes from the cell
D
To protect the cell
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: -Containing acid and several types of digestive enzymes, lysosomes digest unwanted organelles in a process termed autophagy, from the Greek words for “self” and “eat.” The multipurpose lysosome also processes proteins, bacteria and other “food” the cell has engulfed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The digestive enzymes of lysosomes breakdown unwanted (waste) substances and worn out cell parts. Hence, they can be considered as the waste disposal system of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -A lysosome is a cell organelle. The key organelles involved in digestion and waste removal are the lysosomes. Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria.
