Best answer

Answer: 4. Lysosomes are formed by the process of packaging in the endoplasmic reticulum.

Lysosomes are membrane-bound vesicles holding hydrolytic enzymes that work best at acidic pH. They are formed by packaging in the Golgi apparatus; the enzymes are made on the rough ER.

So the statement that they are formed by packaging in the ER is incorrect. Option 4 is the answer.
