B
DNA
C

D
chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chromatin is a substance made up of DNA or RNA and proteins, such as histones. It condenses during cell division (mitosis or meiosis) and becomes a chromosome. Chromatins are “unwound” condensed structures whereas chromosomes are highly packaged and more condensed than chromatins.

Detailed explanation-2: -During interphase (1), chromatin is in its least condensed state and appears loosely distributed throughout the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chromosomes are not always visible. They usually sit around uncoiled and as loose strands called chromatin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromatin Chromatin refers to a mixture of DNA and proteins that form the chromosomes found in the cells of humans and other higher organisms. Many of the proteins-namely, histones-package the massive amount of DNA in a genome into a highly compact form that can fit in the cell nucleus.
