Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Begin by understanding the basic structure of plant cells. Plant cells have specific organelles that are distinct from animal cells.
2. Identify the organelles listed in the problem: Mitochondria, Chloroplasts, Cell wall, and Lysosomes.
3. Recall that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, present in both plant and animal cells, responsible for energy production.
4. Chloroplasts are unique to plant cells and some algae, where they perform photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy.
5. Lysosomes are typically found in animal cells and are involved in digestion and waste removal. They are not commonly found in plant cells, which often use vacuoles for similar functions.
