Solution

The correct option is B A- Chromatin Fibres, B- Chromosome
In a cell, when it is not dividing the genetic material containing DNA exists as thin thread like strands in the nucleus, known as the chromatin fibres/chromatin network.
During the time of cell division, the chromatin fibres are condensed to form dark, thick X shaped structures known as chromosomes.
