Answer: D. the Cell wall

Explanation: The cell wall provides structural support and protection. Pores in the cell wall allow water and nutrients to move into and out of the cell. The cell wall also prevents the plant cell from bursting when water enters the cell.

Also it is also a ridged layer found outside of the cell membrane
