A
Nucleus
B
Cell wall, Chloroplast, Vaccuoles
C

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Animal cells do not have a cell wall composed of a cell membrane. A plant cell is enclosed by a hard/rigid cell wall along with the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage of water and nutrients. It also helps maintain the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles, which also are used for storage of water and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Three differences between a plant cell and an animal cell are: Animal cell lack cell wall, unlike a plant cell which has a cellulosic cell wall. Animal cell lack chloroplast, whereas plant cell has chloroplast. Animal cell has centrioles, centrosome, and lysosome but plant cell lack them.
