A
chloroplast
B
cell wall
C
mitochondria
D
cilia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are present in both animal and plant cells. Cell wall and chloroplasts are present in only in plant cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Furthermore, it is no surprise that mitochondria are present in both plants and animals, implying major commonalities in regulation, energy production, substrates employed, etc. This common presence of mitochondria, with similar functions and structure, underscores how close our life forms are.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nucleus is an organelle that is present in both plant and animal cells. It controls all the activities of the cell. Cell wall and chloroplasts are present only in plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Known as the “powerhouses of the cell, ” mitochondria produce the energy necessary for the cell’s survival and functioning. Through a series of chemical reactions, mitochondria break down glucose into an energy molecule known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used to fuel various other cellular processes.
