This organelle protects/holds the DNA
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplasts
C
Nucleolus
D
Nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The nuclear envelope isolates and protects a cell’s DNA from various molecules that could accidentally damage its structure or interfere with its processing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus is particularly important among eukaryotic organelles because it is the location of a cell’s DNA. Two other critical organelles are mitochondria and chloroplasts, which play important roles in energy conversion and are thought to have their evolutionary origins as simple single-celled organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Nuclear Envelope-The nuclear envelope is a double-layered membrane that encloses the contents of the nucleus during most of the cell’s lifecycle. The space between the layers is called the perinuclear space and appears to connect with the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-4: -By housing the cell’s genome, the nucleus serves both as the repository of genetic information and as the cell’s control center. DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.
