Lysosome
B
Vacuole
C
Golgi Apparatus
D
Cell membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cell wall and the central vacuole work together in order to help plant cells keep their shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vacuole is the most conspicuous organelle in plant cells. Because of its large volume, it is involved in storing many inorganic and organic molecules, and in so doing, functions in homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Also called the vacuolar membrane, the tonoplast is the cytoplasmic membrane surrounding a vacuole, separating the vacuolar contents from the cell’s cytoplasm.
