  1. Water

  2. Organic substances only

  3. Inorganic substances only

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A plant cell is characterised by a single large sap vacuole. They enclose sap or water with dissolved inorganic and organic substances. It is surrounded by a membrane called as tonoplast. Plant cell vacuole maintains osmotic pressure for turgidity and osmosis. They also store useful as well as waste substances. Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Tonoplast is the covering of
