Answer 1

The best choice I think would be 
D) Their cell walls are created from different substances and bBacteria has an RNA polymerase that archaea lacks.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option among all the options is option "D

Explanation:

Cell walls are created from different substances, bacterial cell wall contains peptidoglycan and archaea lacks it in its cell wall.

Archaea lacks RNA polymerase while bacteria have an RNA polymerase. that correctly summarizes why bacteria and archaea are not in the same kingdom.

Thus, the correct option among all the options is option "D".
