D
None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Prokaryotes generally have cell walls and some organelles such as ribosomes. However, their unique feature is that they do not have. Since they do not have membrane-bound organelles, they also do not have nuclei. Prokaryotes still contain DNA that consists of nucleic acids, but they float freely in their cytoplasm.
