- C. Mitochondria
- D. Mesosome
Explanation
The DNA of bacteria is present in the nucleoid. The nucleoid is a distinct region within the bacterial cell where the genetic material (chromosomal DNA) is located. Unlike eukaryotic cells, bacteria do not have a membrane-bound nucleus, so their genetic material is dispersed within the nucleoid region.
