A
The Golgi apparatus stores water and food for the cell.
B
The lysosome acts as the garbage truck for the rest of the cell.
C
Only plants have vacuoles.
D
Vesicles are packaged in the lysosome.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are single membraned, spherical cell organelles which are synthesised by golgi bodies. They contain digestive enzymes which help in breakdown of any harmful or waste material in the cell. Hence, they are also called suicidal bags of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes are the garbage disposal units of our cells, roaming around digesting cellular waste with their specialized enzymes and recycling excess or worn-out cell parts. Additionally, they may also be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosomes are the garbage collectors of cells. These organelles are responsible for breaking down the “trash” in the cell-misfolded proteins, worn out organelles-that cells collect in a process called autophagy.
