Answer:

The correct answer is - it is a DNA molecule.

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is a deoxyribose nucleic acid that is a double-stranded molecule joined together nitrogenous base pairs adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thiamine. Adenine pairs with guanine and thiamine pair with cytosine.

This nucleic acid present in the cell and can be studied under the microscope.

Thus, the correct answer is - the studied nucleic acid is a DNA molecule.
