Solution

The correct option is C Basic proteins
Bacteria are prokaryotes. They lack membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and Golgi apparatus. They also lack a true nucleus. Instead, they have nucleoid, genetic material without a nuclear envelope. Histones are basic proteins found in eukaryotic cells. However, these proteins are absent in bacterial cells. However, a bacterial genome is circular DNA, which is acidic in nature. This bacterial DNA is packed by means of RNA and polyamines. The latter behave as basic proteins.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Basic proteins.'
