The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the third choice "The cell is eukaryotic because it contains ribosomes."
A eukaryote is any organism whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes. Eukaryotes belong to the taxon Eukarya or Eukaryota.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

Answer from: nakuhernandez

The cell studied by the scientist under the microscope contains both ribosomes and mitochondria. Both the prokaryotic and the eukaryotic cells contain ribosomes. However, the ribosomes in prokaryotes are 70S, while eukaryotes have 80S ribosomes. Nonetheless, they are present in both the cells. Their presence will not establish the classification of cells.

On the other hand, the mitochondria are present only in the eukaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells contain no cell organelles and hence, have no mitochondria. The cell observed by the scientist contains mitochondria, hence, it is an eukaryotic cell.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option D - The cell is eukaryotic because it contains mitochondria'.
