Correct answer is b ( lysozyme) .
Lysosomes are the suicidal bags of cell that have hydrolytic enzymes and serve to digest and remove the wear and tear organelles and molecules from the cell.
The formation of lysosomes involves both the endoplasmic reticulum and the golgi apparatus.
- Enzymes of the lysosomes are synthesized from the proteins of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
- The enzymes are released from the Golgi apparatus in small vesicles that fuse with the acidic vesicles of the Golgi apparatus. These acidic vesicles are termed as endosomes. This fusion forms a lysosome.
