Solution

The correct option is A Mycoplasma
Mycoplasma is a genus of bacteria that completely lack a cell wall. Their outermost layer is made up of plasma membrane enclosing cytoplasm, DNA and RNA. Therefore, they don't have a definite shape. Cyanobacteria and bacterium have a cell wall. Virus has a protein coat instead of a cell wall.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
