A
centromeres
B
chromatin
C
chromatids
D
centrioles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes within the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Nuclear DNA does not appear in free linear strands; it is highly condensed and wrapped around nuclear proteins in order to fit inside the nucleus. Chromatin exists in two forms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of repeated units of chromatin called nucleosomes, which were discovered by chemically digesting cellular nuclei and stripping away as much of the outer protein packaging from the DNA as possible.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each eukaryotic chromosome is composed of DNA coiled and condensed around nuclear proteins called histones. Humans inherit one set of chromosomes from their mother and a second set from their father.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromatin refers to a mixture of DNA and proteins that form the chromosomes found in the cells of humans and other higher organisms.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chromatin is a complex of macromolecules composed of DNA, RNA, and protein, which is found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
