A
Prokaryote
B
Eukaryote
C
there is not a size difference
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms belonging to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller than eukaryotic cells, have no nucleus, and lack organelles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Eukaryotic cells are generally much larger than prokaryotic cells, frequently having a cell volume at least a thousandfold greater. The compartmentalization provided by cytoplasmic organelles is what allows eukaryotic cells to function efficiently.

Detailed explanation-4: -They are organisms which do not have proper cellular organization i.e they lack cellular organelles and a nucleus and therefore are small in size.
