Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "chromosome".

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromosomes are structures found in the nucleus of most living cells, which contain nucleic acids and proteins with the major purpose of protecting and coding the genetic material. Strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are among the nucleic acids that are located in chromosomes. DNA is vital for the cell since it is the carrier of the genetic information.
