The correct option is C Entangled mass of thread like structures when DNA is not dividing
Chromatin is visible as entangled mass of thread like structures. Chromatin is a complex of macro-molecule found in cells, consisting of DNA, protein and RNA. In a cell which is not dividing, this DNA is present as a part of chromatin material. Whenever the cell is about to divide, the chromatin material gets organised into chromosomes.
