Solution

The correct option is A Nucleoprotein
Chromatin is made of nucleoprotein. Chromatin is a complex of macromolecules found in cells, consisting of DNA, protein and RNA. The primary functions of chromatin are to pack DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, to reinforce the DNA macromolecule to allow mitosis, to prevent DNA damage, and to control gene expression and DNA replication. The primary protein components of chromatin are histones that compact the DNA.
