Solution

The correct option is A True
A good plasmid should always be of small size. Low molecular weight of the plasmid helps in easy separation of plasmid from the cellular DNA. Lower weight of the plasmid also helps in easier transformation, as a plasmid with a higher molecular weight may fail to enter bacterial cells.
