What is a major difference between eukaryotic DNA replication and prokaryotic DNA replication?

What is a major difference between eukaryotic DNA replication and prokaryotic DNA replication?
A) Prokaryotic replication does not require a primer.
B) Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication.
C) DNA polymerase III of eukaryotes has both endonuclease and exonuclease activity, while that of prokaryotes has only exonuclease activity.
D) DNA polymerases of prokaryotes can add nucleotides to both 3′ and 5′ ends of DNA strands, while those of eukaryotes function only in the 5′→3′ direction.
