Solution

The correct option is A Freely permeable
A plant cell is characterized by a well developed cellulosic cell wall which is dead at maturity. Since cell wall is dead at maturity it does not take part in any physiological or biochemical process and may not regulate transport process. Thus, it is fully permeable to both solutes and solvents and serves as a rigid structural framework only.
