What cell type are Protists?
A
Eukaryotic
B
Prokaryotic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protists are eukaryotes, which means their cells have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Most, but not all, protists are single-celled. Other than these features, they have very little in common. You can think about protists as all eukaryotic organisms that are neither animals, nor plants, nor fungi.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protists are a diverse group of organisms that are either unicellular or multicellular without highly specialized tissues. They could be viewed as those eukaryotes that cannot be classified as one of the other cell types. They include the one-celled animal-like protozoa, one-celled algae, slime molds and water molds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protists are a taxonomically inhomogeneous group of mostly unicellular eukaryotic microorganisms.

Detailed explanation-4: -All protists are eukaryotic organisms. This means that they have a membrane-enclosed nucleus and other cell organelles. Most protists are aquatic, others are found in moist and damp environments. Most are unicellular, however, there are a few multicellular protists such as the giant kelp.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protists are eukaryotes as they possess a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles (structures that perform a specific job).
