Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

The lysosomes may be called ''suicide bags'' of the cell in view of their autolytic role, or ''disposal units'' of the cell because they digest the incoming food materials and remove the foreign bodies, toxic molecules, and debris, or ''recyling centres'' as they break down worn out and defective cells and cell organelles to component molecules for building new organelles and cells.
