  • Correct answer
    A
    Fungi
  • B
    Bacteria
  • C
    Blue green algae
  • D
    Mycoplasma

Solution

Prokaryotes are organisms that lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. They are classified under the kingdom Monera.

Bacteria, blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), and mycoplasma are all examples of prokaryotes.

Fungi are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they possess a well-defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Therefore, fungi are not prokaryotes.

Answer: Fungi

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
