The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Cytoplasm.

The fluid matrix filling in the cell is called cytoplasm. It is a gel-like substance that surrounds the cell's organelles, providing a medium for chemical reactions and facilitating the movement of materials within the cell. The cytoplasm consists of cytosol (the liquid portion), organelles, and various inclusions like nutrients and enzymes. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cell structure, enabling cellular processes, and supporting the functions of organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, and ribosomes.
