Solution

The correct option is B Chromosome
In a nondividing cell, the genetic material, i.e., DNA is present as chromatin fibres. Chromosomes are visible only during certain stages of cell division. Chromosomes are formed by coiling and supercoiling of chromatin fibres. Since, during cell division, chromosomes are highly condensed, they are visible under light microscope. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
