Gives the cell its shape
A
cell wall
B
cell membrane
C
cytoskeleton
D
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. These structures give the cell its shape and help organize the cell’s parts. In addition, they provide a basis for movement and cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoskeleton provides a structural framework for the cell, serving as a scaffold that determines cell shape and the general organization of the cytoplasm. In addition to playing this structural role, the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movements.

Detailed explanation-3: -They have a diameter of about 7 nm and are made up of many linked monomers of a protein called actin, combined in a structure that resembles a double helix.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton is a network of long fibers that make up the cell’s structural framework. The cytoskeleton has several critical functions, including determining cell shape, participating in cell division, and allowing cells to move.

Detailed explanation-5: -All eukaryotic cells, including plants, animals, fungi and protists have a cytoskeleton. Even prokaryotes have cytoskeletal proteins, but the components are different than eukaryotic cells.
