D: bacteria have cytoplasm while protists do not

The correct option is A. Bacteria are prokaryotes and protists are eukaryotes

Explanation:

The major difference between BACTERIA AND PROTISTS is the Bacteria are PROKARYOTES in nature and they dont have what we called nucleus reason been that their microbes are single celled microbes while protists on the other hand are EUKARYOTIC in nature and they have nucleus and they can either have a single-celled or have more than one celled.
