Explanation by: Indresh Gehalot
Bacterial cells are prokaryotic, meaning they lack a true nucleus. Their genetic material (DNA) is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane but is instead found in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid.

In contrast:

Viruses (A) are acellular and do not have cytoplasm or a true cell structure.

Algae (B) and Moss (D) are eukaryotic organisms, meaning their genetic material is enclosed within a nuclear membrane.
