Solution

The correct option is D All of these
The plasma membrane of a cell is semipermeable and hence allows only the transport of selective molecules. The ability of a molecule to cross the cell membrane depends on factors like the size, charge, and the shape of the molecule.
So, the correct answer is 'All of these'.
