Solution

The correct option is A Nucleic acid
DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA as an acidic substance present in the nucleus was first identified by Friedrich Meischer in 1869. He named it ‘Nuclein’. DNA acts as the genetic material in most organisms. A DNA molecule consisting of all the genetic material of an organism is known as a chromosome. These are thread-like structure of protein and nucleic acid which carry all the genetic information in the form of genes.
