Solution
The correct option is D Proteins
Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins. The proteins are histones and the DNA is wrapped around the histones. The nucleus of every cell contains chromosomes. In humans, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell; a pair of chromosomes is made up of one chromosome from each parent. Structural proteins that bind DNA are well-understood examples of non-specific DNA-protein interactions. Within chromosomes, DNA is held in complexes with structural proteins. These proteins organize the DNA into a compact structure called as a chromatin.
