The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Polymorphism**: The term "polymorphism" refers to the occurrence of different forms or types in a particular species or group. In the context of cellular biology, it often relates to organelles that can exist in various forms and perform different functions. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Lysosomes**: These are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes. They can exist in different forms based on their function, such as primary lysosomes, heterolysosomes, residual lysosomes, and autophagic lysosomes. - **Glyoxosomes**: These are specialized peroxisomes found in plants that contain enzymes for converting fatty acids into carbohydrates. They do not exhibit polymorphism in the same way lysosomes do. - **Peroxisomes**: These organelles contain enzymes that oxidize fatty acids and amino acids. While they can vary in function, they do not show the same level of polymorphism as lysosomes. - **All Microbodies**: This term refers to a group of organelles that includes peroxisomes and glyoxosomes, but not all microbodies exhibit polymorphism. 3. **Conclusion**: Among the given options, lysosomes are the organelles that exhibit polymorphism due to their various forms and functions, such as primary lysosomes, heterolysosomes, residual lysosomes, and autophagic lysosomes. 4. **Final Answer**: The correct answer is **lysosomes**. ---
