[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is a) organelles in a eukaryotic cell work cooperatively. The theory of endosymbiosis suggests that complex eukaryotic cells formed when one prokaryotic cell engulfed another, leading to a symbiotic relationship where the two cells worked together and eventually evolved into a single, more complex cell with specialized organelles that work cooperatively. This process explains why organelles in a eukaryotic cell function together in a coordinated manner.
