Answer:

The correct answer is Lysosomes.

Explanation:

Lysosomes : These organelles are present only in animal cells. They contain many hydrolytic enzymes which are responsible for digesting the non-essential and waste components present in the cells.

Both plant and animal cells possess the following organelles:

Golgi apparatus : They are the sac-like structures surrounded by double membrane. They form a part of the cells internal membrane system. They are responsible for packing specific proteins into membrane bound vesicles and directing them to the target site.

Mitochondria : These are double membrane structures, with the inner membrane forming finger-like folds called the "cristae". They are identified as the cell's "powerhouse". The energy currency of the cell that is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is produced inside the mitochondria by the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Ribosomes : These organelles lacks membrane and are found in free or bound (attached on the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum to form the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum) state. They are responsible for synthesising proteins from messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) by the process of translation.
