The answer is D; eukaryotes and prokaryotes both have DNA, but it's only enclosed in a membrane in eukaryotic cells.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Option (D).

Explanation:

Prokaryotes do not contain the well defined nucleus and nuclear envelope is absent. Eukartotes has the well defined nucleus and contains the membrane bound organelle.

DNA is present as genetic material in both the prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The DNA of eukaryotes is is present inside the nucleus that are bound by the membrane. The prokaryotes DNA is present inside the nucleolus and does not contain the membrane bound organelle.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
