Endosymbiosis theory states that eukaryotic organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from engulfed prokaryotic cells that formed a symbiotic relationship with the host cell. This matches the description of the proposed prokaryotic origin of certain eukaryotic organelles. Other options describe unrelated cellular features (double nuclear membrane, cytoskeletal movement, nuclear DNA, endocytosis/lysosomal digestion).
