Solution

The correct answer is (Choice D) Plant cells typically have a single vacuole while animal cells have multiple vacuoles.

This is because in plant cells, the vacuole is large and central, often taking up most of the cell's volume. The vacuole stores water and maintains turgor pressure in the cell. On the other hand, animal cells usually have smaller, multiple vacuoles used for storing water, ions, and waste products.
