Answer:

a. Each of the cells in the organism will have its own nucleus.

Explanation:

This is most likely the characteristic that the organisms would share. Protists are organisms that have cells containing a nucleus, and that are not animal, plant or fungus. However, the classification is vague, and most members have very little in common with each other. The term is sometimes used in order to group very different organisms for convenience.
