Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be the first option.

It is because DNA, cell membrane, ribosomes, and cytoplasm are the universal feature of all types of living cells.

  • DNA acts as genetic material,
  • Cell membrane helps in keeping the cellular content separately from its surroundings
  • Cytoplasm is a jelly-like substance present in all the cells. It supports all the cellular organelles and acts as the site for all the cellular reactions.
  • Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis in all the cells.

In contrast, membrane-bound organelles such as a nucleus, Golgi body, mitochondria et cetera are present only in eukaryotic cells. They are not present in prokaryotic cells.
