The answer is B.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are organisms which are unicellular and have no internal membrane-bound organelles nor a nucleus. Instead they tend to have a single chromosome, which is a piece of circular, double-stranded DNA found in the nucleoid of the cell. Whereas eukaryotes are organisms with eukaryotic cells. These are cells that have a nucleus and organelles bounded in a plasma membrane. Examples of these organisms include humans, protozoa, fungi, plants and other animals.
