A
Lysosomes
B
Ribosomes
C
Cytoplasm
D
Cell Membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -I clean unuseful cell debris, I am Lysosome. This organelle possesses hydrolytic enzymes that clear up the cell by digesting unwanted foreign materials. Cellular debris is sent to the lysosomes for disposal.

Detailed explanation-2: -They break down excess or worn-out cell parts. They may be used to destroy invading viruses and bacteria. If the cell is damaged beyond repair, lysosomes can help it to self-destruct in a process called programmed cell death, or apoptosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -As lysosomes remove unnecessary particles and organelles from cell hence they are called as scavengers of the cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lysosomes function as the digestive system of the cell, serving both to degrade material taken up from outside the cell and to digest obsolete components of the cell itself.
