The correct option is D Chromatin
Within the nucleus, DNA is organised along with proteins into a material called chromatin.
Chromatin is a viscous, gelatinous substance made up of DNA, RNA, basic proteins called histones or acidic proteins called nonhistones.
The term chromatin is formed from the word- chroma meaning "colour" and a suffix -in.
So, the correct answer is 'Chromatin'.
