A
True
B

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

Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, the cell wall surrounds the cell membrane. This gives the plant cell its unique rectangular shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -While animal cells come in various sizes and tend to have irregular shapes, plant cells are more similar in size and are typically rectangular or cube shaped. A plant cell also contains structures not found in an animal cell. Some of these include a cell wall, a large vacuole, and plastids.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main difference between an animal cell and a plant cell is that plant cells have a cell wall and animal cell lacks the cell wall. The cell wall which is made up of cellulose gives the plant cell rigidity resulting in a fixed, rectangular shape.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell wall made of cellulose gives plant cells rigidity, thus forming a fixed rectangular shape. Animal cells lack rigidity, so they tend to have round and irregular shapes.
