Which of the following are examples of prokaryotes?

  1. Fungi

  2. Plants

  3. Animals

  4. Bacteria

The correct answer is: Bacteria

Prokaryotes are unicellular organisms that do not have a distinct nucleus or membrane-bound organelles. Fungi, plants, and animals are all examples of eukaryotes, which are multicellular organisms with a distinct nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they are examples of eukaryotes rather than prokaryotes. Option D, bacteria, is the only example of a prokaryote in this list.
