None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Archaea are like bacteria, but they have different structures and properties.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unicellular organisms include bacteria, protists, and yeast. For example, a paramecium is a slipper-shaped, unicellular organism found in pond water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other internal structures and are therefore ranked among the unicellular life-forms called prokaryotes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many bacteria have a multicellular phase of their lifecycle, which fall into three broad categories based on shape and mechanism of formation. A number of pressures may have selected for multicellularity, including physicochemical stress, nutrient scarcity, predation, and environmental variability.
Detailed explanation-5: -Final Answer: Humans are not unicellular organisms.
