C
cytoskeleton
D
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane and provides the cell tensile strength and protection. Besides the presence of chloroplasts, another major difference between plant and animal cells is the presence of a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cell Wall A cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell. The cell wall contains not only cellulose and protein, but other polysaccharides a s well . The cell wall provides structural support and protection.

Detailed explanation-3: -The outer covering of the cell, the cell wall is a rigid membrane that contains cellulose (a carbohydrate that is indigestible for humans). The cell wall protects the parts inside, and the cellulose molecules in the wall provide the support and rigidity needed to maintain the cell’s three-dimensional structure.
