Solution

The correct option is B Nucleoid is absent
In mycoplasma, the cells are small varying from 300nm to 800nm in diameter. Cells are surrounded by a triple-layered lipo-proteinaceous unit membrane.
They are usually resistant to antibiotics like penicillin, vancomycin and they are sensitive to tetracycline.

So, the correct option is ' Nucleoid is absent'.
