Answer 1

Cell Y.

Answer: Option C.

Answer: Option C, Cell Y

Explanation:

Prokaryotic cell are the most primitive type of organism that do not posses  a true nucleus in them. They do not even have true membrane bound organelles.

The prokaryotes have plasma membrane as their protective covering which helps them to survive in extreme conditions.

They also posses rigid cell wall which also provides them protection and rigidity. Example: Archaea and bacteria.
