Solution

The correct option is D Cell wall
Cell wall, a structure just outside the cell membrane is present in most prokaryotes, in algae, plants and fungi but not in animals. Its major function is to act as pressure vessels, preventing over-expansion of the cell when water enters. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection.
