The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the presence of double-stranded circular DNA, we can analyze each option step by step: 1. **Understanding Circular DNA**: - Circular DNA is a type of DNA that forms a closed loop and does not have any ends. This structure is typically found in certain types of cells. 2. **Option (A) Prokaryotic cells**: - Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, contain circular DNA. This DNA is often found in the form of plasmids or as the main chromosome. Therefore, this option is likely correct. 3. **Option (B) Protistans**: - Protistans are eukaryotic organisms. Eukaryotic cells typically have linear DNA organized into chromosomes. Thus, this option is incorrect. 4. **Option (C) Plant cells**: - Plant cells are also eukaryotic and possess linear DNA in their chromosomes. Therefore, this option is incorrect. 5. **Option (D) Animal cells**: - Similar to plant cells, animal cells are eukaryotic and contain linear DNA. Thus, this option is also incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis above, the only option that correctly identifies the presence of double-stranded circular DNA is **(A) Prokaryotic cells**. **Final Answer**: (A) Prokaryotic cells ---
