Solution

The correct option is C
Cell membrane

The cell membrane is a flexible structure made up of lipid bilayer and proteins. It protects the cell and allows only selected molecules to pass through it. This is why it is called selectively permeable. This property helps in maintaining the internal integrity of a cell.
