Which statement about cytoplasm is supported by the material?

• A. It produces energy for the cell
• B. It controls what moves in and out of the cell
• C. It stores genetic material
• D. It conducts photosynthesis

Answer: (B)

The key idea is what regulates movement across the cell’s boundary. The area inside the cell, the cytoplasm, hosts the machinery and processes that carry substances to and from the boundary and works with the membrane to control traffic. In the material’s wording, this regulatory role is described as something associated with the cytoplasm, making that statement the best-supported one among the options. The other statements point to specific organelles: energy production by mitochondria, storage of genetic material in the nucleus, and photosynthesis by chloroplasts—functions that occur in distinct structures rather than being the focus of cytoplasmic regulation.
