The formation of a cell plate, which eventually becomes the cell wall, is characteristic of plant cell division and distinguishes it from animal cell division. Animal cells form a cleavage furrow during cytokinesis, which pinches the cell in two. Option B is a feature of animal cell division, option C is not true for either plant or animal cells, and option D is not a distinguishing feature because animal cells can also produce four cells in certain contexts like meiosis.
