The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Centrosome**: The centrosome is a structure found in cells that plays a crucial role in cell division. It is important to determine its characteristics and location. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The question provides four options regarding the nature of the centrosome: - Option A: A nuclear structure of animal cell. - Option B: Cytoplasmic structure of only animal cell. - Option C: Cytoplasmic structure of both plant and animal cell. - Option D: Cytoplasmic structure of plant cell. 3. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - The centrosome is not found in plant cells; it is specific to animal cells. Therefore, options C and D can be eliminated. 4. **Determining the Correct Structure**: - The centrosome is located in the cytoplasm, near the nucleus, and is not a nuclear structure. This means that option A can also be eliminated. 5. **Final Conclusion**: - Since the centrosome is a cytoplasmic structure that is found only in animal cells, the correct answer is **Option B: Cytoplasmic structure of only animal cell**. **Final Answer**: Option B: Cytoplasmic structure of only animal cell. ---
