Answer: Lysosome

The organelle that undergoes with autolysis is the lysosome. They are specialized vesicle that contain different digestive enzymes that involved with various cell processes such as breaking down excess cell parts that beyond repair, process damaged or dying cells and recycle worn out cell parts.
