The right answer is the function.

If we take as an example the different cells of the human body:

Macrophages are phagocytic cells, so it has more lysosomes and peroxisomes than other cells.

Plasma cells produce a huge amount of antibodies so their nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus are highly developed.

Muscle cells are very active cells, so they have a large number of mitochondria.

The adipocytes have the role of storing fat, and for that, they have large vacuoles ...
