Can be either...

Explanation:

Prokaryotes: : for instance bacteria
These are unicellular organisms...

Eukaryotes:: You can't help thinking immediately about Humans, other mammals and/or other higher organisms, but they are multicellular of course.

But there are unicellular, eukaryotic organisms: Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae), Amoebae, etc.

Lastly: it could be a human cell as well: e.g. the famous HeLa strain of (cancerous) cells, more or less the standard vehicle for research in Eukaryotes (e.g. cancer research).

Whether the last example constitutes an organism is debatable though...
