Solution

The correct option is D Bacteria
Prokaryotic chromosomes have less sequence-based structure than eukaryotes. Bacteria typically have a single point from which replication starts, whereas some archaea contain multiple replication origins. Eukaryotes including fungi have multiple origins of replication.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
