a gram - positive
b a protoplast
c gram - negative

Explanation:

Gram - positive bacterial cell walls are characterized by a thick layer of peptidoglycan and the presence of teichoic and lipoteichoic acids. Protoplasts are cells without a cell wall, gram - negative cell walls have a thin peptidoglycan layer and an outer membrane, acid - fast bacteria have a waxy mycolic acid layer, and spheroplasts are cells with part of their cell wall removed.
