The organelle within an organelle is called a "peroxisome." Therefore, the correct answer is B. Peroxisome. Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles found within the cell's cytoplasm and contain enzymes involved in various metabolic processes, including the breakdown of fatty acids and detoxification reactions. They are considered organelles within the cell because they have their own membrane, separating their contents from the cytoplasm.
