Solution

The correct option is B

It contains the hereditary material


The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully-enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell's genetic material, DNA. DNA is in association with a variety of protein forms and thread-like structures called chromatin fibres. These fibres condense during cell division to form chromosomes.
