Both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells contains ribosomes, therefore A is incorrect.

Both eukaryotic and prokarytic cells presents DNA and does de transcription of DNA into RNA. Therefore, B is also incorrect.

The size of the cells depends upon the function they perform, but the eukaryotic cell usuallt is larger than the prokaryotic cell because it presents membraned organelles.

So,
