A
Nucleus
B
Ribosome
C
ER
D
Mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chromosomes are structures found in the center (nucleus) of cells that carry long pieces of DNA. DNA is the material that holds genes. It is the building block of the human body. Chromosomes also contain proteins that help DNA exist in the proper form.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of the cell. They carry genes and help in inheritance or transfer of characters from parents to offspring.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is separate from the rest of the nucleus because of the specialized function. It does not contain chromosomes and is able to shuttle ribosomes and ribosomal RNAs out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs.
