Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
In a eukaryotic cell, extrachromosomal DNA is present in cell organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. Chloroplasts and other plastids are not found in all eukaryotes, e.g., they are absent in fungi and animal cells. Hence, Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
