Solution

(d) They do not have a true nucleus.

Prokaryotic cells have cell organelles but they lack membrane-bound cell organelles like chloroplast, mitochondria etc. and even a well-defined nucleus is absent which states that they have a simpler cell organization and bacteria are unicellular organisms with very simple cell structure lacking a proper nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, so they are called prokaryotic.
