Solution

The correct option is C DNA
Bacterial plasmid contains DNA. A bacterial plasmid is an extrachromosomal circular DNA present independently in the cytoplasm of bacteria. It contains DNA as genetic material. Sometimes, it is also present in the archaea and eukaryotic organisms. It can replicate independently. It usually contains certain specific genes which provided added advantage to the bacteria containing it. For example, it contains antibiotic-resistant genes.
