A
it is large, water filled and helps provide shape
💡 Explanation:
Unlike animal cells which have small, scattered vacuoles, plant cells have a single large central vacuole filled with water. This vacuole exerts turgor pressure against the cell wall, helping the plant maintain its shape and stay upright.
