Solution

The correct option is C A single double stranded DNA
Bacteria are prokaryotes. They are unicellular organisms that lack internal membrane-bound organelles. They do not have a true nucleus. Instead, they have an incipient nucleus called as nucleoid or genophore. Genophore is a single, circular, double-stranded DNA.
Thus, the correct answer is 'A single double-stranded DNA.'
