Solution

The correct option is A Bacteriophage
A bacteriophage is a type of virus that infects bacteria. Viruses are considered neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes because they lack the characteristics of living things, except the ability to replicate (which they accomplish only in living cells).

Bacteria and mycoplasma are prokaryotes. Amoeba is a eukaryotic organism.
