Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Chromosomes refer to the compositions found within the nucleus of the cell that comprises genes of an individual. The genes refer to the DNA segments, which comprises the code for a particular protein, which functions in one or more kinds of cells in the body.  

A chromosome comprises thousands of genes, and each of the normal human cell comprises 23 pairs of chromosomes, thus, a sum of 46 chromosomes. More than one gene present within a chromosome determines a trait known as a gene-determined characteristic. This trait or characteristic passes from one offspring to another. Thus, it can be said that the chromosomes carry the codes for hereditary traits.
