The answer is B. a small loop of DNA

A plasmid is a small circular DNA molecule. It is found in prokaryotes but can be present in some Archaea and eukaryotes, as well. It is physically separated from chromosomal DNA and is able to replicate on its own. It is often used as a transfer vector in genetic engineering.
