The correct answer is D. chro' mo some

Step-by-step explanation:

The word chromosome refers to a set of structures in cells that are related to genes and determine the genetical traits of someone. This word is composed by three syllables or units of pronunciation, which means when pronouncing chromosome there are three pronunciation sounds "chro" "mo" "some" each syllable containing at least one vowel and consonant sound. Additionally, the stress or accent (') of this word is in the first syllable "chro" as when you pronounce the word this is the syllable that has more emphasis in comparison to the other syllables, this emphasis is represented by the symbol (') after the first syllable to show that is the syllable that has the accent or the stressed syllable.
