Solution

The correct option is A DNA is complexed with histones
In prokaryotes, DNA is not complexed with histones. Prokaryotic DNA is usually present in direct contact with the cytoplasm. The genetic material is not organised into the nucleus and all the membrane-bound organelles (mitochondrial, chloroplast, Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum lysosomes) are absent.
