Solution

The correct option is D Telomere
The telomeres do not have any overhanging ends of nucleotides so it is known as non sticky chromosome ends called telomere. A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromatid, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes.
So, the correct answer is option D.
