BIn chromosomes and chloroplasts
CIn chromosomes, chloroplasts and mitochondria
Correct Answer
DIn chromosomes, chloroplasts mitochondria and ribosome's

Solution

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It's the genetic code that determines all the characteristics of a living thing. It is formed of nucleotide where each nucleotide contains a sugar and a phosphate molecule, which make up the 'backbone' of DNA, and, one of four organic bases.
The bases are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T).The genetic material, DNA, in plant cells is found in the nucleus, the mitochondria, the chromosome and the chloroplasts.
So, the correct option is 'C'.
