Ans.

The plant cells are eukaryotic cells, in which membrane-bound organelles, such as nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts are present. Plant cells also possess large central vacuoles that function in storage of nutrients.

Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles, such as nucleus and central vacuole is absent in animal cells, such as blood cells.

As cell described in question has nucleus and a large central vacuole, it represents a plant cell. Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
