The correct answer is d. All of the above. Both elephants and oak trees are eukaryotic organisms, and their cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria.
Explanation:
Eukaryotes:
Both elephants (animals) and oak trees (plants) are complex organisms with cells containing a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Cell Nucleus:
The nucleus is a membrane-bound structure in eukaryotic cells that contains the cell's genetic material (DNA).
Mitochondria:
Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are responsible for energy production through cellular respiration.

As we know elephant and oak tree both belong to Kingdom Animalia and Plantae respectively. If we look close to these Kingdoms we will found that both these Kingdom belong to Eukaryotes, and all Eukaryotic cells have well membrane bound Nucleus, and they both have the power house of cell i.e. Mitochondria where usually Citric Acid Cycle occurs which generate the Energy.

Both elephant and oak tree are Eukaryotas and all the features listed are common to every eukaryotic cell.

Because every eukaryotic cells have all of the above.

The very first thing is they both are eukaryotes (I think you know it) , every cell must contain nucleus (whether it be eukaryotic or prokaryotic) and coming to mitochondria it is source of energy.
That's it so all are correct.
