Answer;

Lysosomes

The organelle that is most likely malfunctioning in the patient’s cells is the lysosomes.

Step-by-step explanation;

Lysosomes have powerful enzymes and acids to digest and recycle cell materials.

Lysosomes play a major role in getting rid of waste materials in a cell.

-If there are old worn-out parts in a cell, or too many mitochondria, or poisons, then the lysosome forms a membrane bubble around them, and the enzymes inside the lysosome break these large parts down into small molecules that can fit to get through the cell membrane.

I was hoping that some options would be there to choose from. Since there are no options given, so i am answering the question based on my research and hope that it helps. The organelle that is most likely malfunctioning in the patient's cell is lysosomes. It actually contains degradable enzymes that are enclosed within a membrane.
