It is a semitransparent fluid that suspends the other elements
A
Peroxisome
B
Cell Membrane
C
Cytoplasm
D
Cytosol
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoplasm has three major elements; the cytosol, organelles and inclusions. The cytosol is the gooey, semi-transparent fluid in which the other cytoplasmic elements are suspended. The cytoplasm hold organelles and protects them, such as the vacuole, endoplasmic recticulum, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the eukaryotic cell, the cytosol is surrounded by the cell membrane and is part of the cytoplasm, which also comprises the mitochondria, plastids, and other organelles (but not their internal fluids and structures); the cell nucleus is separate. The cytosol is thus a liquid matrix around the organelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Within the cytoplasm are the cytosol and the organelles (membraneous and non-membranous). The cytosol is the broth of the soup. The CYTOSOL is a viscous, semitransparent fluid that contains proteins, salts, sugars and nutrient monomers.
