1. This is a vacuole. Plants cells have vacuoles, and animal cells don't
At this point, the only possible option is B. Therefore I'd just choose B and continue with other questions. But just for benefit:

2. This is a lysosome.
3. Mitochondria
4. Endoplasmic Reticulum
5. Ribosomes

3,4,5 all exist in both animal and plant cells.
As for lysosomes this is debatable, it depends on your definition for lysosomes. If you're interested have a look here

1-surrounded by a single membrane and enclosing a large fluid-filled space = Vacuole
2-surrounded by a single membrane and enclosing inactivated enzymes= Lysosome (I'm not sure about this one:p)
3-formed by two membranes enclosing a matrix, the inner membrane is folded= Mitochondria
4-formed by a membrane that has flattened sacs and tubular structures inter-connected throughout the cell= Endoplasmic reticulum
5-formed of nucleic acid and protein attached to membranes or free in the cytoplasm= Nucleus

So that's why the answer would be B :)

Why can't 5 be Nucleus?

We want chromosomes that appear as two chromatids:
Interphase - nope, DNA appears as loose chromatin form, not chromosomes nor chromatids
Prophase - yes! The DNA material has condensed to appear as two chromatids on every chromosome
Metaphase - yes! At Metaphase the chromosomes just moved towards the equator of the cell, but they all still appear with two chromatids
Anaphase - nope. The chromosomes have been split by centrioles through their microtubule spindle fibers. They do not appear with two chromatids, rather each chromosome has one chromatid only.
Telophase - nope. They have reached the ends and nuclear envelope is forming, but each chromosome has still one chromatid.

Figure the math part out yourself if you can't I'll do it insha Allah :)

Answer for 1:
Nitrates- They help in building proteins (amino acids) which are needed for growth.
Magnesium ions- It's the magnesium that makes chlorophyll green. SO they are necessary for Photosynthesis.

If any of these are less the plant will look yellow.

Why can't 5 be Nucleus?
Formed of nucleic acid and protein, attached to membranes or free in the cytoplasm.

This description seems to match that of ribosomes. They are made of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and protein and contain a small and a large subunit.
