D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell membrane – Organelle in animal cells that is the barrier between the cell and the environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant and animal cells also have many common organelles, including the nucleus, cell membrane (called the plasma membrane in animals), endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and cytoplasm, as well as several others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both plant and animal cells comprise membrane-bound organelles, such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, the nucleus, Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a plant cell the cell wall is found outside the cell membrane. In an animal cell, the cell membrane forms the outer covering of the cell. The cell wall is made of a tough material called cellulose and acts like a fence, keeping the cell safe from the environment.
