A
animal
B
bacteria
C
plant
D
protist
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Escherichia coli is not an example of a eukaryotic cell. It belongs to the kingdom bacteria which are prokaryotes. Paramecium, Euglena, and Amoeba belong to the kingdom Protists they are unicellular eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Single celled organisms like yeast, paramecia and amoebae are all eukaryotes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria are prokaryotic and unicellular organisms. The cell wall of bacteria is made up of peptidoglycan layer, and they lack membrane-bound organelles. The bacterial cell has a simpler organisation of structure. Hence, the given statement is false as bacteria are not eukaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -It was that eukaryotes have a cytoskeleton and bacteria do not.

Detailed explanation-5: -Eukaryotes (meaning ‘true nuclei” where “karyote” is derived from the ancient Greek for “kernel") include fungi, protozoa, eukaryotic algae, and of course plants and animals including ourselves. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus containing chromosomal DNA bounded by membranes.
