another webpath pathology question...

This microscopic appearance of the hepatocytes of a 90 year old female results from which of the following cellular mechanisms:

A. Nuclear pyknosis
B. Hypertrophy
C. Autophagocytosis
D. Anaerobic glycolysis
E. Coagulative necrosis

Autophagocytosis, why? The lipochrome (lipofuscin) represents the residual debris of organelles and appears with increased frequency with aging, particularly in heart and liver.
