Solution

The correct option is B Prokaryotes
The very first species of organisms were single-celled bacteria called Prokaryotes. They were capable of living in the absence of oxygen. They used to get the necessary energy and nutrients from the environment. 4000 to 2500 million years ago organisms like Lichen and Algae evolved. Much much later, came the age of the dinosaurs.
