  4. Lysosomes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The centrosome is an organelle that serves as the main microtubule organizing center (MTOC) of the animal cell as well as a regulator of cell-cycle progression. It was discovered by Edouard Van Beneden in 1883. The centrosome is thought to have evolved only in the metazoan lineage of eukaryotic cells.Doubling of a centrosome is similar to the DNA replication in two respects: the semi-conservative nature of the process and the action of cdk2 as a regulator of the process.
