Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Eukaryotes are more complex than prokaryotes in their body organization as well as the genetic material. It is because the eukaryotes have a nucleus in which genetic material is found separated from the cytoplasm. They also have more DNA than prokaryotes.
In contrast, prokaryotes are simple. They do not have any nucleus, in absence of which their genomes are less complex.
