Unicellular organisms have a cell membrane made from a lipid bilayer; viruses have a protein coat.

This is best because single-celled life (bacteria, protists) have lipid bilayer membranes and metabolic activity, whereas viruses are made of nucleic acid enclosed by a protein capsid (some also have an outer lipid envelope). The other statements are incorrect or reversed.
