Answer:

I don't know about you, but for me, USA Test Prep said the answer was "B"

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cells that produce and package digestive enzymes must contain relatively large amounts of lysosomes and ribosomes in comparison to other cells. Lysosomes contain digestive enzyme amylase that catalyzes the breakdown of carbohydrate including starch into sugar while ribosomes is responsible for protein synthesis.
