Solution

The correct option is A DNA
Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins. DNA molecules contain the information necessary for constructing and organizing the cells. Functional segments of DNA are called as genes. In a cell, which is not dividing, this DNA is present as part of a chromatin material. Whenever the cell is about to divide, the chromatin material gets organized into chromosomes and transferred to the next generation.
So, the correct answer is option A.
