Also known as “Suicidel bags” of the cell. Rich in hydrolitic enzymes and macrophages
A
Peroxisomes
B
Lysosomes
C
White blood cells
D
Golgi Apparatus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lysosomes are called as the ‘suicide bags’ of cells as they not only help in digestion of metabolic wastes but also in the autolysis or the breakdown of the cell itself. They are membrane-bound vesicular structures. They are rich in hydrolytic enzymes such as lipases, proteases, nucleases and carbohydrases.

Detailed explanation-2: -These enzymes digest cells, pathogens, and unwanted waste materials. These cells autolyze and burst while opening. They released content that is capable of damaging the entire cell. Hence, lysosomes are called suicidal bags of cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
