hold/store water, one large one is found in plant cells
A
nucleolus
B
ribosomes
C
golgi bodies
D
vacuoles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In plant cells, the vacuoles are much larger than in animal cells. When a plant cell has stopped growing, there is usually one very large vacuole. Sometimes that vacuole can take up more than half of the cell’s volume. The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food.

Detailed explanation-2: -The central vacuole is a large vacuole found inside of plant cells. A vacuole is a sphere filled with fluid and molecules inside a cell. The central vacuole stores water and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vacuoles. First, plant cells have a large central vacuole that holds a mixture of water, nutrients, and wastes. A plant cell’s vacuole can make up 90% of the cell’s volume. The large central vacuole essentially stores water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants have large vacuoles because they store water in them. When you water a plant it is the vacuole that takes up all that water from osmosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant cells additionally possess large, fluid-filled vesicles called vacuoles within their cytoplasm. Vacuoles typically compose about 30 percent of a cell’s volume, but they can fill as much as 90 percent of the intracellular space.
