Contains enzymes for breaking down food and other material
A
Golgi Body/Apparatus
B
Vacuole
C
Lysosomes
D
Ribosomes
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: -Lysosomes are found in nearly every animal-like eukaryotic cell. They are so common in animal cells because, when animal cells take in or absorb food, they need the enzymes found in lysosomes in order to digest and use the food for energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lysosome Action Since lysosomes are little digestion machines, they go to work when the cell absorbs or eats some food. Once the material is inside the cell, the lysosomes attach and release their enzymes. The enzymes break down complex molecules that can include complex sugars and proteins.
