im not sure of the structure but i know that a process called 'Metamorphosis' which is caused by the organelles 'lyrosomes' and is called programmed cell death or apoptosis 

Answer:

The correct answer will be- lysosomes.

Explanation:

Tadpole loses its tail by 9-10th week after the fertilization process has taken place. At this time, the tadpole loses its tail through the process of apoptosis.

The organelle which plays an important role in the apoptosis is lysosomes which contain the hydrolytic enzymes. The lysosomal proteases like aspartic protease and the cysteine cathepsins  present in the lysosomes gets released into the cytosol where they act as the mediators of the apoptosis in the tadpole tail.

Thus, lysosomes are the correct answer.
