Solution

The correct option is A Cell wall
Animal cells don't have cell walls because they do not need them.Plant cells have cell wall because plants do not move from one place to another and hence they require rigidity which is provided by the cell wall .This rigidity allows plants to stand upright .If animals had cell walls in the same way plants do, they would be incapable of movement.
