Solution

The correct option is A Tonoplast
  • A vacuole is covered by a membrane called tonoplast.
  • Tonoplast (vacuolar membrane) refers to the cytoplasmic membrane surrounding the large vacuole of a plant cell.
  • It separates the vacuolar contents from the cytoplasmic contents.
  • It is a semi-permeable membrane which allows the movement of only certain molecules through them and also helps to maintain turgor pressure in the cell.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Tonoplast'.
