B
Controls the cell’s activity
C
Stores dissolved sugars and other solutes as sap
D
Controls what enters and leaves the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -SAP Vacuoles in Animal Cells: Their Function: It stores food and a range of nutrients that the cell requires to thrive, as well as waste products that protect the cell from contamination.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main functions of vacuoles include maintaining cell acidity and turgor pressure, regulating the storage and transport of substances, controlling the transport and localization of key proteins through the endocytic and lysosomal-vacuolar transport pathways, and responding to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Detailed explanation-3: -In plant cells, vacuoles are full of cell sap and provide turgidity and rigidity to the cell. Substances of importance like amino acids, sugars, various organic acids and some proteins are stored in vacuoles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vacuoles are the fluid filled organelles enclosed by a membrane (called tonoplast). The cell sap of vacuole contains dissolved sugar and salt.
