Solution

The correct option is B. ii and iii.

Statements (i):

  1. There is a large singular vacuole covering the major area of the plant cell while smaller vacuoles are present in animal cells.
  2. Plant cell vacuole covers nearly 90% of the cell size.

Statements (ii):

  1. Plastids are organelles containing pigments like chlorophyll which are unique for plant cells as they are absent in animal cells.
  2. The plastids include the chloroplast, which acts as the site of photosynthesis in plant cells.

Statements (iii):

  1. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall outside the plasma membrane due to which they maintain the shape.
  2. But the cell wall is absent in animal cells.

Statements (iv):

  1. Due to the presence of these pigments in the plastids, plant cells are green colored but animal cells are mostly devoid of any color.

Final Answer: Therefore the statements ii and iii depict the correct set of differences.
