Solution

The correct option is B Nuclear membrane
Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles and well-organized nucleus. The nuclear membrane is absent in a prokaryotic cell. The nuclear membrane is a double membrane layer which surrounds the nucleus. It is made up of lipids, that encases the genetic material.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Nuclear membrane'.
