Solution

The correct options are
B Animal cells have centrioles.
C Plant cells have a large vacuole.
D Animal cells do not have plastids.

Plant cells are characterised by the presence of a rigid cell wall made up of cellulose, whereas animal cells do not contain cell wall.

Centrioles are barrel-shaped organelles found in the cells of animals and protists. They are involved in cell division. They are absent in higher plants such as gymnosperms and angiosperms.

In plant cells only one large prominent vacuole is present. In animal cells on the other hand, vacuoles are smaller in size and more in number.

Animal cells do not contain plastids like chloroplasts (which contains chlorophyll), chromoplasts (coloured plastids) and leucoplasts (colourless plastids).
