A
Plant Cell
B
Animal Cell
C
Bacteria Cell
D
Prokaryotic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells may or may not have vacuoles (if present, their size is very small). Since the cell has a large central vacuole, it must be a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, plasmodesmata, and plastids used for storage, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Detailed explanation-4: -Statement 1: Vacuoles are large and prominent in an animal cell and small in plant cell.
