The correct option is B Mature plant cells
A vacuole is a membrane-bound (tonoplast) organelle present in cells.
It forms an enclosed compartment within the cell which are filled with water, dissolved inorganic and organic molecules (enzymes)
It stores food and variety of nutrients required by the cell to survive and also store waste products which protect the cell from getting contaminated.
A large central vacuole is the characteristic of a plant cell.
So, the correct answer is 'Mature plant cells'.
