Solution

The correct option is D Plasmids
A plasmid is a small circular double stranded molecule DNA present in the cytoplasm of the bacterial cell. It can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. Due to this characteristic of the plasmid, it is used as a vector in gene cloning to deliver a piece of DNA into a host cell.
