Solution

The correct option is A Dystrophin
The human genome is the complete set of nucleic acid sequence for humans encoded as DNA.
DMD (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) is the largest known human gene which provides instructions for the formation of a protein called dystrophin. Dystrophin is a rod-shaped cytoplasmic protein located primarily in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles.
The DMD gene, encoding the dystrophin protein, covers 2.3 megabases (0.08% of the human genome).
So, the answer is A.
