The correct answer is option d. "possess membrane bound organelles AND uses the same type of genetic material as a member of the Domain Archaea".

Explanation:

One characteristic that defines an eukaryotic organism is that it posses membrane bound organelles. This differs from bacterias and archaeas, which have their organelles embedded into the cytoplasm. On the other hand, one thing that is common for all living organisms is that their genetic material is comprised of DNA. Therefore, an organism belonging to the Domain Eukarya possess membrane bound organelles AND uses the same type of genetic material as a member of the Domain Archaea.
