I believe it's D. The genes of its chromosomes. This primarily determines the inherited traits that an organism has.

The inherited traits an organism has can be determined through its DNA. The DNA is the genetic material of an organism. For a person, the DNA can be a key to verify whether a person is the true parent of someone like maternal or paternal investigation. Hence the answer is D> the genes of its chromosomes
