A nucleus
B
A cell wall
C
Membrane covered organelles
D
A life
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotic cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, but they have no internal membrane-bound organelles within their cytoplasm. The absence of a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles differentiates prokaryotes from another class of organisms called eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotes do not have a nucleus. Instead prokaryote DNA can be found, bundled but free-floating, in a central region called the nucleoid. Prokaryote DNA is usually found as a single chromosome of circular DNA. These organisms also lack other membrane-bound structures such as the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotes lack all membrane-bound organelles, including nuclei, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplasts, and lysosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The organelles found in prokaryotes are the cytoplasm, ribosomes, cell membrane and cell wall.
