Solution

The correct option is C Having well defined cytoplasm
Bacteria and viruses both are pathogenic in nature. They both cause disease in humans and animals. They both possess genetic material. Bacteria possess single-stranded circular DNA. Virus possesses either DNA or RNA as genetic material. They both lack proper membrane-bound nucleus unlike in eukaryotes. Bacteria have a well-defined cytoplasm within the cell membrane. However, virus lacks well defined cytoplasm.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Having well-defined cytoplasm.'
