Solution

The correct option is D Is membrane-bound and contains water and excretory substances
Vacuole in a plant cell is bound by a membrane called tonoplast. Hence, all answers containing "lacks membrane" are incorrect.
Plant vacuoles are involved in storing excretory substances and water. However, storage lipids are not stored in vacuoles in plants. Storage lipids are usually present in seeds and pollen grains.
