Answer: Option C) A sentence in the instruction book

Explanation:

A gene is a specific portion on the DNA that code for a functional protein. i.e DNA consists of several genes, and some non-coding sequences that are usually spliced off during post-translational modification.

In other words, a gene can be best described as each single, meaningful sentence in the instruction book for building an organism.
