A
Vacuole
B
Mitochondria
C
Ribosomes
D
Chromatin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vacuole is a large, round sac found in the cytoplasm. It stores water, food, wastes, or other materials needed by the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Food, water and wastes are stored inside vacuoles in cells. Animal and plant cells contain vacuoles. Plant cell vacuoles are larger than animal cell vacuoles, but animal cells contain more of them.

Detailed explanation-4: -The vacuole holds large amounts of water or food. Don’t forge that vacuoles can also hold the plant waste products. Those waste products are slowly broken into small pieces that cannot hurt the cell. Vacuoles hold onto things that the cell might need, just like a backpack.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
