Solution

The correct option is C Deoxyribonucleic acid
Chromosomes are composed of chromatin material. Chromatin is a fibrous heredity material formed by DNA-histone complex. Basically, the DNA-histone thread consists of nucleosome chains. The nucleosome chains are made of histone proteins forming charged cores around which Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is wrapped.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'deoxyribonucleic acid'.
