The correct answer is:

- It forms a boundary that controls what enters and leaves the cell.

The cell membrane is selectively permeable, meaning it regulates the transport of substances in and out of the cell. It allows certain molecules and ions to pass through while preventing others from entering or exiting. This process of selective permeability helps maintain homeostasis within the cell by regulating the concentration of various substances and allowing for proper cellular function.
