C
plants
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, have a free-floating chromosome that is usually circular and is not enclosed in a nuclear membrane. Instead, the DNA simply exists in a region of the cell called the nucleoid.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria are prokaryotes. A prokaryote is a simple, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. The majority of prokaryotic DNA is found in a central region of the cell called the nucleoid. So, bacteria have DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bacteria do not have a nucleus. Since the nucleus contains DNA, it can be concluded that bacteria do not contain DNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bacteria are prokaryotes, lacking well-defined nuclei and membrane-bound organelles, and with chromosomes composed of a single closed DNA circle.
