The correct answer is lysosome.
A lysosome is a membrane-bound organelle with many different functions:
· degradation- lysosome contains hydrolytic enzymes that can break down (hydrolysis at low pH) many kinds of biomolecules.
· secretion,
· plasma membrane repair,
·
cell signaling

· waste disposal system –lysososme is capable for digestion of unwanted materials in the cytoplasm, both from outside the cell and obsolete components inside the cell.
