Solution

The correct option is B Euchromatin
Chromatin is found in two varieties: euchromatin and heterochromatin. Originally, the two forms were distinguished cytologically by how intensely they stained – the euchromatin is less intense and diffused, while heterochromatin stains intensely, indicating tighter packing.
