Is it multiple choice or do you just figure out

The answer is: a) Herpesviruses
Scientists use the light year because nothing can travel fast than light. Therefore, in any given time frame, light will travel farther than any other substance or particle in the universe. For more precise measurements, scientists use astronomical units. One AU is equal to the distance between the earth and the sun. For anything less, scientists usually use kilometers. For extremely large, interstellar distances, light years are very useful. You wouldn’t want to measure the distance between Earth and Proxima Centauri in kilometers or even AU. The lightyear gives a simple, relative measurement.

Answer:
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are much larger than prokaryotic cells.
Explanation:
According to the Endosymbiotic theory, all the components of eukaryotic cells were once individual prokaryotic cells which were able to function on their own.
The mitochondria was independent enough to perform aerobic respiration and produce energy and the chloroplasts were able to independently convert the energy from the Sun to the chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Later, these cells were engulfed by a single cell and these prokaryotes combined to form a eukaryote that was capable of performing all the functions that the independent cells could.
So, the mitochondria and chloroplasts were able to reproduce on their own, had their own ribosomes and had DNA resembling that of bacteria as they were prokaryotic in nature.
However, mitochondria and chloroplasts could not be larger than the prokaryotic cells to support the endosymbiotic theory.
This is because in order to establish a relationship between the bacteria and the mitochondria and chloroplasts, and for these organelles to have developed from bacteria as their ancestors, they must have sizes comparable to bacteria and other prokaryotes.
At the same time, size in itself is not enough evidence to support origin of these organelles from the bacteria.
