{'cell organelles': [0, 1, 2, 7], 'lysosome': [3, 0, 3, 7], 'ribosomes': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'endoplasmic reticulum': [2, 0, 0, 2], 'nucleus': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'golgi bodies': [7, 0, 3, 5]}

The correct answer is option 3: Golgi bodies.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for breaking down waste materials and cellular debris through the process of digestion. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes that are necessary for this digestion process.

The formation of lysosomes begins at the Golgi bodies. Golgi bodies, also known as Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex, are another type of membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for transportation within the cell or secretion outside the cell.

Within the Golgi bodies, hydrolytic enzymes that are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum are modified and packaged into lysosomes. These lysosomes are then transported to various parts of the cell to carry out their digestive functions.

Therefore, lysosomes are formed from Golgi bodies, making option 3 the correct answer.

Alert - correct answer should be 4: Ribosomes.
