B
sugar
C
macromolecules
D
animal cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes Are the Principal Sites of Intracellular Digestion They contain about 40 types of hydrolytic enzymes, including proteases, nucleases, glycosidases, lipases, phospholipases, phosphatases, and sulfatases.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lysosomes break down cellular waste products, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, and other macromolecules into simple compounds, which are then transferred back into the cytoplasm as new cell-building materials.

Detailed explanation-3: -Intracellular digestion: The word lysosome is derived from (lyso lytic or digestive; and soma body) thus helping in digestion. Removal of dead cells: Role in metamorphosis: Help in protein synthesis: Help in fertilization: Role in osteogenesis: Malfunctioning of lysosomes: Autolysis in cartilage and bone tissue:
