Solution

The correct option is A Chromosomes
The chromosomes are coloured bodies when stained, and are found inside the nucleus. They are clearly visible under the microscope.

Factors are hereditary units. This term was used by Mendel which nowadays are called genes.

Genes are located on the chromosomes.

Lysosomes are cell organelles found in the cytoplasm outside the nucleus. Lysosomes contain powerful hydrolytic enzymes capable of digesting the macromolecules.
