DExplanation:Lysosomes are the specialized organelle within mammalian cells to pack hydrolytic enzymes. Of note, peroxisomes are also organelles that contain enzymes. However, the main difference between both organelles is that lysosomes are mainly responsible to carry out intracellular digestion, and on the other hand, peroxisomes have the main function to protect the cell from toxic molecules that come from within the cell. I hope this clarify your inquiry.

Answer is D – lysosomes.Peroxisomes are found in animal cells though the enzymes they contain perform redox rather than hydrolytic reactions.The remaining options are found in plant cells but not animal cells.
