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

Detailed explanation-1: -The nucleus is surrounded by a membrane called the nuclear envelope, which protects the DNA and separates the nucleus from the rest of the cell. Plasma membrane. The plasma membrane is the outer lining of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nucleus houses the genetic material of the cell: DNA. DNA is normally found as a loosely contained structure called chromatin within the nucleus, where it is wound up and associated with a variety of histone proteins. When a cell is about to divide, the chromatin coils tightly and condenses to form chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nucleus is spheroid in shape and separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane called the nuclear envelope. 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-4: -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.
