Answer
A
presence of a nucleus
B
cell wall structure
C
body type
D
nutrition source

Explanation

Cell wall structure best distinguishes these kingdoms: eubacteria have cell walls containing peptidoglycan, while archaebacteria do not. Both groups are prokaryotes, so neither has a nucleus, and both are generally single-celled and can obtain nutrition in different ways.
