Solution

The description that best fits a bacterium is: "It is a single, simple cell with no nucleus". Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, which means they lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They are also considered living organisms and do not need to infect a cell before they can reproduce, as they can reproduce through a process called binary fission.
