Cytokinesis in plant cells ____.
A) requires vesicles to cluster at the future plane of division
B) occurs when the plasma membrane is pulled inward by a ring of microtubules
C) usually precedes nuclear division
D) involves a cleavage furrow
E) occurs exactly the same as in animal cells
Cytokinesis
The process in cell division where the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided into two daughter cells.
Vesicles
Small, membrane-bound sacs within cells that transport or store substances.
Cleavage Furrow
In a dividing animal cell, the indentation where cytoplasmic division will occur.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Plant cells require vesicles to cluster at the future plane of division during cytokinesis, which ultimately forms the cell plate that will divide the cell. This process is different from animal cell cytokinesis, which involves a cleavage furrow created by the contraction of actin filaments.
