The correct answer is the vacuole.

A vacuole is a membrane-bounded organelle that helps to maintain water balance in the cell.

If the cell has excessive water: the vacuole absorbs the water and then diffuses it out of the cell.
If the cell lacks water: water from the vacuole gets passed back into the cell.
