Used for water/food storage in both plant and animal cells
A
lysosome
B
ribosome
C
vacuole
D
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vacuole is a cell organelle present in both plant and animal cells. It stores food, water, toxic waste etc. The vacuole present in a plant cell differs from that of an animal cell because the former has. Green plants produce oxygen which is utilized by all animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both plant and animal cells have vacuoles. A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage of water and nutrients. It also helps maintain the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles, which also are used for storage of water and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles are like storage bubbles which are found mostly in plant cells. They occupy most of the portion of plant cells. These are used for storage of food, water, amino acids, sugars, organic acids and some proteins. They also store toxic metabolic by-products or end products of plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants may also use vacuoles to store water. Those tiny water bags help to support the plant. They are closely related to objects called vesicles that are found throughout the cell. In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Animals have small-sized vacuoles. They have one large central vacuole. They have two or more small vacuoles. All mature plants have vacuoles.
