Answer: (D)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand the basic structure of eukaryotic cells, which include both plant and animal cells. Both types of cells share some common organelles.
2. Identify the organelles listed in the problem: cell wall, chloroplasts, central vacuole, and mitochondria.
3. Recall that the cell wall is a rigid structure found in plant cells but not in animal cells.
4. Remember that chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis and are present in plant cells but not in animal cells.
5. Recognize that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for energy production, and are found in both plant and animal cells.
