Answer #1

Answer d. histone/nucleosome

DNA wraps around a histone octamer resulting in a structure called a nucleosome.

The histones are responsible for the packing of atleast 2 meters of DNA into a nucleus, that is about 5µm in diameter. DNA helix wraps around a core of eight histone molecules (two copies of each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4), giving the appearance of a string of beads, which are known as a histone octamer. Each bead is called a nucleosome.
