Answer: A bacterial plasmid is an extrachromosomal circular DNA present independently in the cytoplasm of bacteria. It contains DNA as genetic material. Sometimes, it is also present in the archaea and eukaryotic organisms. It can replicate independently. It usually contains certain specific genes which provide added advantage to the bacteria containing it. For example, it contains antibiotic-resistant genes.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Plasmid.'
