Solution

The correct option is A Vacuoles
Vacuoles are closed sacs, enclosed in a membrane. These are the storage bubbles found in cells. Plant cells have a single, large vacuole. The vacuole stores nutrients. It can also store waste products.
In an animal cell, the vacuoles are very small in size and they are many in number.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
