The correct option is D All of the above
  • DNA supercoiling means overwinding or underwinding of a DNA strand. Supercoiled DNA can be traced in all organisms be it prokaryotic bacteria or eukaryotic organisms as it helps in compacting DNA.
  • It helps to package very large DNA within the small cell. It also plays an important role in gene expression.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
