The correct option is D
If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

Assertion: Protists have eukaryotic organisation.

Elaboration: The protists such as Amoeba. Euglena and Paramecium have well-defined nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Thus they have eukaryotic organisation. Hence, the given assertion statement is true.

Reason: The protistian cell body contains a well-defined nucleus and other membrane bound organelles.

Elaboration: Eukaryotes are organisms with well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound cell organelles. Protists are considered eukaryotes as they have well-defined nucleus and other membrane bound organelles. Hence, the given statement is true and it explains the assertion.
