When DNA is distributed diffusely throughout the nucleus, it is called chromatin. When it is organized into condensed structures, it is called chromosomes. Therefore, the best choice is C, which correctly identifies these two forms of DNA organization. Choice A incorrectly identifies genes as diffuse DNA, and choice B is ambiguous as nucleic acids can refer to DNA, RNA, or any other type of nucleic acid. Choice D reverses the terms, identifying chromatin as the condensed form and chromosomes as the diffuse form, which is incorrect.
