Solution
The correct option is D Cytoskeleton, cell wall The shape of the animal and plant cell is primarily maintained by the cytoskeleton. Bacteria, fungi, plants and algae have an additional non-living, rigid structure called the cell wall that surrounds the plasma membrane. It maintains the shape and provides a rigid structure to the cell.
