Solution

The correct option is C

Bicellular Organism


Unicellular organisms are made up of single cells. All the functions of the cell are carried out in a single cell. All prokaryotes are unicellular and eukaryotes are generally multicellular. But amoeba is a single-celled eukaryote. So unicellular organisms can be prokaryotes or eukaryotes. Unicellular cells may be motile or non-motile, the motility being due to the movement of the flagella attached at the anterior end.
