Solution

The correct option is A
Prokaryotic

Kingdom Protista includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms. The cells have a nucleus and well-defined organelles, so are eukaryotic in nature. Protists are organisms that cannot be classified as a plant, animal, or fungus as they include both photosynthetic (autotrophic) and non-photosynthetic heterotrophic organisms.
