(b)the cell lacks a cell membrane.
(c)the cell lacks a nucleus.
(d)the cell lacks genetic material.

The correct option is C.
There are basically two types of cells, they are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The eurkaryotic cell is a well developed cell that is usually find in multi cellular organisms while the prokaryotic cell is usually find in unicellular organisms. The prokaryotic cell is typically described as a primitive cell because it lacks nucleus and do not possess most of the remaining cell organelles. The organisms that possess prokaryotic cells are called prokaryotes. Examples of such organisms are bacteria and archaea.
Instead of nucleus, prokayotes possess a nucleiod region which contains the cell's DNA. Prokaryotic cells also possess cell wall, cytoplasm and ribosomes.
