A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Animal cells lack the rigidity hence, they tend to have a round and irregular shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes. Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells, so they have several features in common, such as the presence of a cell membrane, and cell organelles, like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -An animal cell is usually irregular and round in shape. This is primarily due to the absence of the cell wall, which is a characteristic feature of plant cells. Furthermore, animal cells do not have plastids as animals are not autotrophs.

Detailed explanation-4: -However, animal cells do not have a cell wall but only the plasma membrane. So, they do not have a defined shape. They are not necessarily round but instead have an irregular shape.
