Solution

The correct option is D Units of chromosomes
The nucleosome is the fundamental subunit of chromatin. Each of the tiny beads are called as nucleosome and has a diameter of approximately 11 nm. Each nucleosome is composed of a little less than two turns of DNA wrapped around a set of eight proteins called histones, which is known as histone octamer.
