A
prokaryotic
B
eukaryotic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Humans are eukaryotes. They are multicellular organisms, the cells contain a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles (mitochondria, Golgi bodies, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum).

Detailed explanation-2: -Cells that contain these features (ie, cytoskeleton, organelles surrounded by cytoplasm and nucleus surrounded by nuclear envelope) are called eukaryotic cells. Human cells are eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Humans and other mammals are eukaryotes, as are birds, reptiles, fish, plants, fungi. Bacteria and viruses are prokaryotes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans belong to the kingdom Animalia where all the organisms are Eukaryotic. Due to the complex organisation of cells, humans are eukaryotic. Note: The prokaryotes are primitive cells in contrast to eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae. Eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular.
