Solution

The correct option is A DNA

In the nucleus, DNA does not usually exist by itself but instead associates with specialized proteins that organize it and give it structure. These proteins are called histones. The complex of DNA plus histones and other structural proteins is called chromatin. Condensation takes place only when the cell is about to divide. The chromatin then condenses into linear pieces called chromosomes.
