what do you mean by this sentence
Animal cells can regulate osmotic pressure by pumping ions and salts across the cell membrane. So, they do not require the cell wall to protect themselves from bursting due to endosmosis.

Solution

Cell wall protects the cell from bursting. As animal cells don't have cell wall they prevent bursting by maintaining osmotic pressure by pumping ions and salt across the cell membrane.
