Solution

The correct option is B Is membrane bound, contains water and excretory substances
Vacuoles in the plant are formed by the fusion of multiple small vesicles. It is bound by a membrane called tonoplast. The vesicles contain a large amount of water for structural support.They store proteins in germinating seeds but no lipids. The vacuole also contains plant waste that tastes bitter to insects and animals. It does not contain any air.
