The function of this organelle is to store water. Large ones are found in plants.
A
Lysosome
B
Golgi Body
C
Cytoplasm
D
Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vacuole is the cell organelle that stores excess water and gives support and rigidity to a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vacuole stores nutrients in cells, and its contents determine the color of cells and tissues and the turgor pressure of the cell. Tonoplast proteins are involved in intracellular ion transport, pH regulation, and vacuole transport pathways.

Detailed explanation-5: -The central vacuole is a large vacuole found inside of plant cells. A vacuole is a sphere filled with fluid and molecules inside a cell. The central vacuole stores water and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.
