Amoebas are unicellular organisms, while human beings are multi-cellular and the most intelligent of organisms. However, both are classified as eukaryotes. How will you justify this reasoning?

That is because being prokaryotic or eukaryotic doesn't depend on the size of the organism, but rather on the cellular structure. Both are eukaryotic because they have clearly defined nuclei and functioning organelles that are differentiated, unlike prokaryotic organisms.
