B
lipid
C
chloroplast
D
all the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vacuoles are surrounded by a membrane called tonoplast and filled with cell sap. Also called the vacuolar membrane, the tonoplast is the cytoplasmic membrane surrounding a vacuole, separating the vacuolar contents from the cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -A tonoplast is actually the membrane that surrounds the large vacuole in a mature plant cell. We get the name ‘tonoplast’ from Greek, which translated looks something like ‘tone, tension, stretching, and molded. ‘ This would coincide well with where the tonoplast exists. It is also known as the ‘vacuolar membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tonoplast is the membrane surrounding the vacuole.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vacuolar membrane, also known as the tonoplast, is the cytoplasmic membrane that surrounds a vacuole and separates its contents from the cytoplasm of the cell. The primary function of the central vacuole is to maintain turgor pressure against the cell wall.
