Correct option is D)
The cytoplasm has two main components, such as cytosol, cell organelles, and cytoplasmic inclusions.

Cell organelles are the small structures that help the cell in performing basic functions.
Cytoplasmic inclusions are tiny particles that are suspended in the cytoplasm.
Since the cytoplasm has cytosol, a fluid-like and clear substance, it consists of 80 percent of water and because of this, cytoplasm acts as a medium for several cellular metabolic activities.
There are remaining components such as proteins, fats, and minerals, which constitute up to 25 percent together.
Therefore, water is the major constituent for a living cell and in the living body
