Cell sap is.
A
A dilute solution of minerals and some organic substances in the vacuole
B
A dilute solution of minerals in water absorbed by the plant from the soil
C
Exudate from the cell
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell sap contains mineral salts, sugars, amino acids, proteins, waste products and water soluble pigments like anthocyanins (red, blue, purple) and anthoxanthins (ivory to deep yellow). They provide colouration to flowers in rose, dahlia, etc. The pigments attract pollinating and dispersing agencies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cell sap is the liquid inside the large central vacuole of a plant cell. Cell sap serves as the storage of materials and provides mechanical support, especially in non-woody plants. It has also a vital role in plant cell osmosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell sap is a fluid found in the vacuoles (small cavities) of the living cell; it contains variable amounts of food and waste materials, inorganic salts, and nitrogenous compounds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell sap is a dilute solution of minerals in water absorbed by the plant from the soil .
