Solution

The correct option is B Vacuole
  • Many plant cells contain a single central vacuole. Because the plant cell's central vacuole is filled primarily with water, this specialised organelle can represent up to over 90% of a plant cell's inner space.
  • Vacuoles help in diverse functions including providing structural support, growth, storage, and elimination of waste products.
