Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Polysome or polyribosome are complex of clusters ribosomes that is attached to a single strand of mRNA and making several copies of it. Almost all organisms have polysome.

Polysome is found in the cytoplasm of cell. Bacterial are able to make polysome because they lack nuclear membrane. Polysome is responsible for relaying part of DNA information for reproduction.

Answer:

Option B) they lack a nuclear membrane

Polysome formation in bacteria is able to occur because they lack a nuclear membrane

Step-by-step explanation:

Since bacteria, like other Prokaryotes, lack a well-defined nucleus and nuclear membrane, its ribosomes are held together by ribonucleic acid (RNA) during protein synthesis, and are altogether referred to as polysome.
