Answer:

The correct option is d

Step-by-step explanation:

Plasma membrane (or cell membrane) is a semipermeable or selectively permeable barrier that regulates what goes in and out of the cell by keeping toxic substances out of the cell while allowing nutrients, ions and some metabolic products inside the cell.

This membrane surrounds all the content/organelle inside (cytoplasm and nucleoplasm) of the cell.
