The Lysosome is the eukaryotic organelle responsible for cellular digestion. Lysosomes hold enzymes that were created by a cell. They are known as "little digestion machines." A Lysosome is an organelle that breaks down other organelles that are no longer useful. Therefore, A would be the correct answer.
