Lysosomes are present in only animals. So, Option B, C and D are out already but vacuoles are found in both cell types.

@Javeria.
Lysosomes do contain enzymes for food digestion in protista (eg amoeba).
The food vacuole present in amoeba is a combination of phagosome (vacuole with food) and lysosome.

First of all plant cell lacks Lysosomes so there is no way option B, C, D will be true. Second Vacuoles are present in all 3 cell types.
