Answer:

C. nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Karyon is a Greek word which means a kernel or nut and it depicts organisms that do not have a true nucleus. The shape of the nucleus was used in giving it the name karyon.

Prokaryotes are organisms that lacks a true nucleus and do not have membrane bound organelles.

Eukaryotes on the other hand have true nucleus with membrane organelles.
