The correct option is C

PQRSNucleusChloroplastCell MembraneCell Wall


The nucleus controls all the functions of a cell. If the nucleus is removed, then cell will not have the genetic material. cell division will stop. No new nuclear proteins will be produced,.
Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis. If chloroplasts are removed, no photosynthesis will take place and the leaves will show a negative test for starch.
The cell membrane also known as the plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane. It allows only selected substances (solids and liquids) to pass through it. If the cell membrane is removed, there will be no check on the substances entering and exiting the cell.
Cell walls are present in the plant, fungal and bacterial cells. In plants, they are responsible for maintaining the shape of the cell and providing structural and mechanical support to the plant cell. If the cell wall is removed, the plant cell loses its structure.
