Solution
The correct option is B chromatin
In a cell which is not dividing, DNA is present as part of chromatin fibres/material. These are called chromatin because they get coloured when they are stained. This chromatin material is visible as an entangled mass of thread-like structures. Whenever the cell is about to divide, the chromatin material gets condensed and organised into chromosomes.
