A
Their cells have nuclei
B
They can make their own food through photosynthesis
C
They live in saltwater environments
D
They are multicellular
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Characteristics of Protists. Like all other eukaryotes, protists have a nucleus containing their DNA. They also have other membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-2: -As with all eukaryotic cells, protists contain membrane-bound nuclei and endomembrane systems, as well as numerous organelles.

Detailed explanation-3: -All protists have a nucleus, as well as other structures such as endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Many protists also contain mitochondria, and some contain digestive vacuoles and chloroplasts. Plant-like protists (algae) and fungi-like protists (molds) may also contain a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -In terms of commonalities, all protists share these features: a cellular nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Note that most (but not all) protists are both unicellular and eukaryotic.

Detailed explanation-5: -Like all eukaryotic cells, protists have a characteristic central compartment called the nucleus, which houses their genetic material. They also have specialized cellular machinery called organelles that execute defined functions within the cell.
