A
Cell wall
B
Nulear membrane
C
Cell membrane
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell membrane, also called the plasma membrane, is found in all cells and separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer that is semipermeable. The cell membrane regulates the transport of materials entering and exiting the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The selective permeability of biological membranes to small molecules allows the cell to control and maintain its internal composition. Only small uncharged molecules can diffuse freely through phospholipid bilayers (Figure 2.49).

Detailed explanation-3: -The plasma membrane is the border between the interior and exterior of a cell. As such, it controls passage of various molecules-including sugars, amino acids, ions, and water-into and out of the cell.
