The right answer is D.

Genetic information, essential to the construction and functioning of the cell and plant, is found mainly in the nucleus. It is the same in all the cells of the plant, which copy it at each cell division. The expression of this information is specific to the function and role of the cell, but the unused information remains.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the universal carrier of genetic information in living beings.
