Solution

The correct option is C Membrane-bound organelles
The main differentiating feature between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is the presence and absence of membrane-bound organelles.
The plasma membrane, DNA structure and the cytoplasm are similar in both Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells and are not the main differentiating features.
