Solution
The correct option is B True nucleus
Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus whereas prokaryotic cells have a primitive nucleus. The true nucleus of eukaryotes is a double membrane-covered protoplasmic body that contains hereditary information. A true nucleus is made up of five parts- nuclear envelope, nucleoplasm, nuclear matrix, chromatin, and nucleolus. The primitive nucleus of a prokaryote is also called a nucleoid as it lacks these parts. It is comprised of only the genetic material.
