B)they are around 10* smaller than eukaryotic chromosomes
C)they contain gene coding regions and regulatory regions
D)they can be present in more than one copy

All the other options are characteristics of bacterial chromosomes: they are smaller than eukaryotic chromosomes, contain gene coding and regulatory regions, can be present in multiple copies, and have only one origin of replication.
