Prokaryotic ribosomes are of the 70S type, which are composed of two subunits: a larger 50S subunit and a smaller 30S subunit. This statement is correct.
Many prokaryotes, especially bacteria, contain small, circular, extrachromosomal DNA molecules known as plasmids, which provide unique phenotypic characters like antibiotic resistance. This statement is correct.
Mesosomes are characteristic infoldings of the plasma membrane in prokaryotes, which help in cell wall formation, DNA replication, and respiration. This statement is correct.
Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotes lack membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, lysosomes, and peroxisomes. This statement is incorrect.
Since (a), (b), and (c) are correct, the correct option is (A).
Final Answer: (A)
