Solution

The correct option is B Nucleoid
A nucleoid is an irregular shape region in a prokaryotic cell that comprises most of the genetic material known as genophore. A membrane does not enclose it.

DNA is found in nucleoid.

The nucleoid possesses no such protective membrane and is not separated from the other components of the prokaryotic cell.
