A
Unicellular eukaryotes
B
Multicellular eukaryotes
C
Unicellular prokaryotes
D
Multicellular prokaryotes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria and archaea are all unicellular prokaryotes. Eukaryotes do have cell nuclei and their structures are more complex. Yeasts and algae are examples of unicellular eukaryotes. Unlike prokaryote cells, eukaryote cells have organelles, cell organs fulfilling important functions in the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -While prokaryotes are always unicellular organisms, eukaryotes can be either unicellular or multicellular.

Detailed explanation-3: -Microorganisms can be unicellular (single cell), multicellular (cell colony), or acellular (lacking cells). They include bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, algae, and viruses. Bacteria are single celled microbes that lack a nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other internal structures and are therefore ranked among the unicellular life-forms called prokaryotes.
