Answer:

Option C, 32 million

Explanation:

As per standard rule -

Number of base pair per nucleosome is equal to 200

Now, the total number of base pair in human genome is 3.1 billion.

Number of nucleosome in 3.1 billion base pairs is equal to

\frac{3.1* 10^9}{200} \\= 1.55 * 10^ 7

These are diploid cells and hence the number of nucleosomes will be 2n

Hence, the total number of nucleosomes are

1.55 * 10^7 * 2\\3.1 * 10^7\\

Hence, option C is correct
