Solution

The correct option is B
Bacteria

Virus, Viroids and Prions are very small things, but they cannot be considered as free living organisms because those things do not consist of reproductive machinery. Bacteria constitute a large domain of prokaryotic microorganisms; typically a few micrometres in length and having self reproductive machinery and cytoplasm.
