Complex molecule that carries genetic information that defines an organism’s traits. It is stored in the nucleus.
A
Protein
B
DNA
C
RNA
D
Glucose nucleic acid (GNA)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Deoxyribonucleic acid (abbreviated DNA) is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. DNA is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shape known as a double helix.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic information is carried in the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA. Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The genetic information of an organism is contained in DNA molecules. It has to come from the nitrogen bases. So we can conclude that nucleus contains DNA which stores the genetic information in an organism.

Detailed explanation-4: -The type of RNA that contains the information for making a protein is called messenger RNA (mRNA) because it carries the information, or message, from the DNA out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-5: -Messenger RNA molecules carry the genetic information needed to make proteins. They carry the information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm where the proteins are made. Also called mRNA.
