Solution

The correct option is B Histones
  • Prokaryotes differ from eukaryotes in the absence of histones.
  • A prokaryotic cell does not have complex histone proteins as present in the eukaryotic cell.
  • They instead have smaller, less complex, basic proteins called histone-like proteins.
  • HU is a folding protein which is abundantly found in the nucleoid.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Histones'.
