Solution

The correct option is C Genophore
Bacteria are prokaryotes. They lack true nucleus and membrane bound organelles. Instead of nucleus, they have nucleoid. The genetic material of bacteria is known as genophore. Genophore is a double stranded circular supercoiled DNA.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Genophore.'
