Solution

The correct option is D Membrane boundary of the vacuole of plant cells
Tonoplast is a single membrane that bounds the vacuoles and separates it from cytoplasm. In plants, tonoplasts facilitate uphill transport of many ions and other materials, making their concentration higher in vacuole than cytoplasm.
