Maintains shape, acts as tracks for organelles to move, etc.
A
plasmodesmata
B
cytoskeleton
C
cytosol
D
Endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoskeleton is a network of different protein fibers that provides many functions: it maintains or changes the shape of the cell; it secures some organelles in specific positions; it enables movement of cytoplasm and vesicles within the cell; and it enables the cell to move in response to stimuli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Actin filaments have a number of important roles in the cell. For one, they serve as tracks for the movement of a motor protein called myosin, which can also form filaments. Because of its relationship to myosin, actin is involved in many cellular events requiring motion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microtubules act as a scaffold to determine cell shape, and provide a set of “tracks” for cell organelles and vesicles to move on. Microtubules also form the spindle fibers for separating chromosomes during mitosis.
