round
B
rectangular
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells are rectangular shaped, eukaryotic, or nucleus-containing, cells with a rigid cell wall. Within the plant cell structures called organelles, perform functions necessary to cell and plant survival.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes.

Detailed explanation-4: -A plant cell has a square or rectangular shape while the animal cells have an irregular or round shape.

Detailed explanation-5: -While animal cells come in various sizes and tend to have irregular shapes, plant cells are more similar in size and are typically rectangular or cube shaped. A plant cell also contains structures not found in an animal cell. Some of these include a cell wall, a large vacuole, and plastids.
