Solution

The correct option is C

It has an impermeable membrane that encloses the DNA


Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and any other membrane-bound organelles. The function of mitochondria is performed by the proteins embedded in the plasma membrane. Most of the prokaryotic cells are smaller in size than the eukaryotic cells.
