If the cells of a plant did not have a cell membrane, then the cells would most likely:

C. not be able to control what enters and exits the cells.

The cell membrane plays a crucial role in regulating substances that enter and exit the cell, maintaining homeostasis, and protecting the cell's internal environment. Without it, there would be no selective permeability, leading to potential imbalances and loss of cellular function.
