The correct answer is C.lysosomes.

Lysosomes are organelles that contain digestive enzymes, which they use to break down old or damaged organelles, as well as to remove pathogens such as bacteria or viruses that may have entered the cell. They are essentially the cell’s "cleanup crew," recycling materials and maintaining cellular health.

Here’s a brief explanation of the other options:

A.Mitochondria: These are the powerhouse of the cell, generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. They are not involved in digestion or breaking down organelles.
