  3. Because its permeability could not be understood till date

  4. Because its one layer is permeable but the other is non – permeable


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Plasma membrane is called selectively permeable because it selects the material to move in or out of the cell on the basis of size, chemical nature and cell requirement.
