Which of the following best describes an advantage that eukaryote organisms have over prokaryote organisms? A) Prokaryotes lack a cell membrane and therefore are unable to control what enters or exits the cell. B) Eukaryotes have a nuclear envelope separating their DNA from the rest of the cell, which increases the likelihood of advantageous mutations. C) Eukaryotes have mitochondria and chloroplasts that contain their own genome, which allows the cells to reproduce more rapidly. D) Eukaryotes have organelles that allow for compartmentalization of cellular processes, which increases the efficiency of those processes.

Answer is D.

Explanation:

Eukaryotic organisms are organisms that possess nucleus and membrane - bound organelles. They derived their name from the word eukaryote, which means true nucleus. They can be single-celled or multi-celled. Examples are fungi, some unicellular organisms, plants and animals.

Prokaryotic organisms are all other organisms that lack membrane - bound organelles and nucleus. Examples are viruses, bacteria and certain algae.
