Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Nucleus}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at each organelle's role in the cell.

A. Mitochondria

  • Often called the "powerhouse of the cell" because it produces ATP, or energy through cellular respiration. It holds some DNA, but not the majority.

B. Nucelus

  • The control center of cell and houses the majority of the genetic information (DNA)

C. Chloroplast

  • Produces glucose for plant, algae, and some bacteria cells through photosynthesis.

D. Golgi body

  • Transports and packages substances, like proteins and lipids.

The nucleus contains most of the genetic material in a cell.
