A
vacuole
B
lysosome
C
cytoplasm
D
cell wall
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. 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-2: -Lysosomes and vacuoles are both membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Vacuoles function by storing various substances, while lysosomes function by using enzymes to break down various substances.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term “vacuole” means “empty space”. They help in the storage and disposal of various substances. They can store food or other nutrients required by a cell to survive. They also store waste products and prevent the entire cell from contamination. The vacuoles in plant cells are larger than those in the animal cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are known to be the storage sac for solids and liquids which does not contain any cytoplasm. It is known to be the vessel in which the cytoplasm of the cell is present. Vacuoles are generally small in size and are helpful in the excretion of waste products, It helps in maintaining the water balance in plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vacuoles and Vesicles cells contain large, saclike, membrane-enclosed structures called vacuoles that store materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates.
