Peroxisomes function is involved in:
A
Manufacturing process
B
Breakdown of molecules process
C
Energy processing
D
Structural support, movement and communication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Peroxisomes are specialized for carrying out oxidative reactions using molecular oxygen. They generate hydrogen peroxide, which they use for oxidative purposes-destroying the excess by means of the catalase they contain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peroxisome is the organelle that has enzymes that break down fatty acids, amino acids, and toxins. As part of normal peroxisomal metabolism hydrogen peroxide, a reactive oxygen species, is produced. As well as the production of hydrogen peroxide, peroxisomes also neutralize it via the enzyme catalse.
