Correct Answer
(C) Saccharomyces
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (C) Saccharomyces Solution: Saccharomyces (yeast) is a unicellular fungus belonging to Ascomycetes and is therefore a eukaryote, not a prokaryote. Nostoc and Oscillatoria are cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) and Mycobacterium is a bacterium — all members of Kingdom Monera and hence prokaryotes. NCERT Reference: NCERT Class XI, Biological Classification, p.17, lines 43-44 — "rarely unicellular, e.g., yeast (Saccharomyces)"
