Eukaryotes
B
Prokaryotes
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Additionally, eukaryotic cells are more than 100 to 10, 000 times larger than prokaryotic cells and are much more complex. The DNA in eukaryotes is stored within the nucleus, while DNA is stored in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles. All prokaryotic cells are encased by a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells because they don’t have to fit as many organelles inside. Prokaryotes typically measure 0.2 – 2.0µm in diameter, whereas eukaryotic cells are 1 – 100 µm in diameter.

Detailed explanation-4: -Not all eukaryotes are large multicellular organisms, although some are. Eukaryotes are a vast and diverse group and include all plants, animals, fungi and protists.
