Solution

The correct answer is:

b) plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus

Explanation:

Human cheek cells are animal cells, and like all animal cells, they do not have a cell wall. Therefore, options a) and d) can be eliminated because they mention a cell wall.

Between options b) and c), option b) is more accurate. While it's true that human cheek cells do contain mitochondria, they are generally not visible under a light microscope without special staining techniques because they are so small.

On the other hand, the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus are all key components of the cell that would be visible under a compound microscope. The plasma membrane (or cell membrane) is the outer lining of the cell, the cytoplasm is the gel-like substance within the cell, and the nucleus is the control center of the cell that contains the cell's genetic material.
