Solution

The correct option is B Gene
The genetic material is stored in the form of DNA in most organisms. In humans, the nucleus contains base pairs of DNA distributed over 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each cell has two copies of the genetic material. This is known collectively as the human genome. The human genome contains around 30,000 genes, each of which codes for one protein
So, the correct answer is 'Gene'
