Solution

The correct option is C Bacterial chromosome
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. This term was coined by Hans Ris for the bacterial chromosome to differentiate it from the eukaryotic chromosome.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Bacterial chromosome.'
