Solution
The correct option is D Plasmid
- Antibiotic resistance genes are commonly found on plasmids, which are small extrachromosomal elements commonly found in bacteria.
- Plasmids can commonly move from one bacterial cell to another by a mechanism known as conjugation, which involves cell‐to‐cell contact followed by transfer of a copy of plasmid DNA from a donor to a recipient.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
