Solution
The correct option is ACyanobacteria Cyanobacteria are prokaryotic organisms who lack a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria, chloroplasts. They also lack a true nucleus. They are thought to be primitive organisms because they possess an incipient nucleus and show division similar to amitosis. Amitosis is a method of cell division in which spindle fibres are not formed.
