A)Bacteria and Eukarya
B)Bacteria and Archaea
C)Archaea and Protista

Accepted Answer

Prokaryotes are classified into two domains, Bacteria and Archaea, based on fundamental differences in their cell wall composition, biochemical pathways, and RNA sequences. Eukarya is the third domain, which includes all eukaryotic organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists. Protista is not a domain, but rather a kingdom within the domain Eukarya. Fungi and Protista do not include prokaryotes.
