A
plant cell
B
animal cell
C
bacteria cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells are rectangular shaped, eukaryotic, or nucleus-containing, cells with a rigid cell wall. Within the plant cell structures called organelles, perform functions necessary to cell and plant survival.

Detailed explanation-3: -Often represented in 2D (like in your textbook) plant cells appear rectangular. In actuality, they are mostly rectangular cubes! Plant cells, unlike animal cells, have a cell wall that is made of cellulose and gives them a cuboidal as opposed to spherical structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between an animal cell and a plant cell is that plant cells have a cell wall and animal cell lacks the cell wall. The cell wall which is made up of cellulose gives the plant cell rigidity resulting in a fixed, rectangular shape.
