C
Cell wall
D
Mitochondrion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eric’s report is about the organelle that supports and gives structure to plant cells. Which organelle is Eric writing about? A. Chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: A central vacuole is the organelle in plant cells that stores water and helps to maintain the plant’s shape. The vacuole is similar to a big bag of water. When it is full, it presses on the cell wall, and helps the cell stay firm.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is also important to keep in mind that organelles are found only in eukaryotes, one of the three major cell divisions. The other two major divisions, Bacteria and Archaea are known as prokaryotes, and have no membrane bound organelles within.

Detailed explanation-4: -It is also present in the organelles: chloroplast (in plant cells) and mitochondria. Thus ribosomes are called organelles within the organelle. Hence Ribosome is an organelle within an organelle.
