    a. a membrane-bound nucleus

    d. presence of mitochondria or chloroplasts

    Explanation:

    Procaryotes are the organisms that lack membrane-bound well-defined nucleus in their cells. These organisms have their DNA present in the cytoplasm itself. Procaryotes also lack the membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, etc.

    On the other hand, eucaryotes have a membrane-bound well-defined nucleus in their cells to house DNA in it. These organisms also have membrane-bound organelles in their cells. Examples of procaryotes are bacteria and archaea while animals and plants are eucaryotes.
