Ans. (A). plasmid.

Plasmid can be defined as an extra-chromosomal, circular, and self-replicating DNA molecule, commonly found in bacteria (prokaryotes). Plasmids provide several advantages to the bacteria, such as gene transfer and antibiotic resistance. Cell membrane, cytoplasm, and flagellum are often found in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Plasmids are rarely found in eukaryotic cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

The answer is A, flagellum are found in many Eukaryotic cells, and Cytoplasm and Cell Membrane are in every Eukaryotic cells. A, Plasmids, while rarely found in Eukaryotic are found often in prokaryotic cells.
