A
DNA is made up of pieces of chromosomes that contain genes.
B
Chromosomes are regions on a gene made of DNA
C

D
DNA is made up of chromosomes found on genes.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA, genes and chromosomes work together to make you who you are. Chromosomes carry DNA in cells. DNA is responsible for building and maintaining your human structure. Genes are segments of your DNA, which give you physical characteristics that make you unique.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -4)So a cell contains chromosomes and a chromosome contains DNA and gene and alleles are also DNA that lies on the chromosome. From here we can conclude that the main relation between DNA, chromosomes, genes, and alleles is that they all are made up of DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Paraphrased answer: The structures present in the nucleus of cells are called chromosomes. Genes make up chromosomes, which are made up of DNA.
