Solution

The correct option is D Cell wall
Mycoplasma is the smallest prokaryotic organism that is capable of independent growth, division, and reproduction. It differs from bacteria in the absence of a cell wall. It makes them resistant to many antibiotics such as penicillin, which targets the cell walls.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mycoplasma.'
