If the lysosome gets ruptured or bursts open within a cell then it will cause autolysis i.e, it will digest the entire cell along with the cell organelles.
It contains acid hydrolases or digestive enzymes that digest excess or worn out organelles, food particles, engulfed viruses or bacteria and macromolecules.
They can also digest or damage its own cell causing the cell death (autolysis).
So, the correct answer is 'Cell dies'.
