C Correct answer
Explanation

Mycoplasma, bacteria, and cyanobacteria are all prokaryotic organisms - they lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Algae and fungi are eukaryotic. Viruses are not considered living organisms and are neither prokaryotic nor eukaryotic. Note: 'cynobacteria' should be spelled 'cyanobacteria'.
