A student examined a particular plant cell through its various stages of growth. After makin various measurements,he realized that the increase in cell size was largely due to enlargement of central vacuole rather than an increase in the amount of cytoplasm. Why might this be an advantageous strategy for the cell?a)enlarging the cytoplasm will make the cell less turgidb)enlarging the vacuole would make it unnecessary for the cell wall to stretchc)enlarging the vacuole would minimise any lowering of the surface area-volume ratio of cytoplasmd)all of these
