Solution

The correct option is A Haploid set of chromosomes
The genome is the genetic material of an organism. It consists of DNA (or RNA in some retroviruses). The genome includes both codings as well as non-coding DNA.
Genome refers to the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism or in each cell of a multicellular organism.
So, the correct option is 'Haploid set of chromosomes'.
