The correct option is C Genome
There can be many ways to define the term 'Genome'.
One can be sum total of all the genes in a cell.
Another can be complete set of chromosomes.
Similar terms, e.g., Proteome signify sum total of all the different types of proteins coded or synthesized in a cell and Transcriptome will mean sum total of all the different types of transcripts synthesized in a cell.
