The right answer is the lysosome


The lysosome is a eukaryotic cell organelle.

The lysosome contains hydrolases, enzymes intended for the degradation of intracellular molecules. They are only active at acidic pH, hence the lowering of the pH in the vesicle.

The lysosome has a cellular garbage function, where the non-functional or undesired molecules are removed by digestion.
