Answer #1

Option 'b:eukaryotes' is the correct answer.

Life on earth can be divided into 3 domains, viz., prokarya, archaea and eukarya. Of these, prokarya consists of prokaryotes which include bacteria and cyanobacteria. Archaea is a separate domain in itself and the organisms lie in the middle spectrum between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Eukarya on the other hand dominates the life on earth. It includes all the multicellular organisms as well as a vast number of unicellular or acellular organisms. It includes all the animals, plants, fungi as well as protists. So, mammals, insects and parasites they are all sub-categories in the eukarya domain. Hence, the majority life-forms on earth belong to eukaryotes.
