A
to protect and support the cell
B
to perform cellular respiration
C
to prevent water from passing through it
D
to prevent oxygen from entering the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress. It also allows cells to develop turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main function of the cell wall is to provide structural strength and support, and also provide a semi-permeable surface for molecules to pass in and out of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The main function of the Cell Wall is to protect and provide support for the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell wall is made up of cellulose. Plant cells require the cell wall for protection against variations in temperature, high wind speed, atmospheric moisture, etc. The cell wall gives rigidity to the cell of a plant.
