Solution

The correct option is B

Nucleus


Of the choices given, the most reliable way to tell the difference between cell types is by checking the presence of a well-defined nucleus, which is found only in eukaryotes. 'Eu' means 'true' and 'Karya' means nucleus. Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have the plasma membrane, DNA, and proteins.
