Solution

The correct option is B Mycoplasma
The Mycoplasma are prokaryotes that completely lack a cell wall. They are the smallest living cells known and can survive without oxygen. They are pathogenic to both animals and plants.
These are called L-forms because they were discovered in the Lister institute in London.
