Correct answer: D. Examples are protists and fungi
- A. Unicelularity
- B. Lack of membrane bound organelles
- C. A cell wall
- D. Examples are protists and fungi

Option D is correct since fungi and protists are classified as eukaryotes. Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes are two different domains. Therefore, prokaryotic cells make up prokaryotes while eukaryotic cells make up eukaryotes. Option A is incorrect as unicellularity is a feature of prokaryotic cells. All prokaryotic cells are unicellular whereas eukaryotic cells may be unicellular or multicellular. Option B is incorrect since prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound organelles. Option C is incorrect since prokaryotic cells possess a peptidoglycan cell wall.
