The answer is option C "encloses specific structures." Plasma membrane PRIMARY function is to protect the cell form it's surroundings and helpfully transports nutrients in and out of the cell to keep that cell alive. Without the plasma membrane bacteria and disease's would get in the cell and kill that cell and also infecting the other cells with that disease.

Hope this helps!
