Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -
C.) contains coded information for the creation of proteins.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is considered as the genetic material of living organisms. It contains genetic instruction in the form of nucleotide sequences. It is first transcribed to form mRNA (messenger RNA), which is then translated into particular protein (translation).
The protein thus formed, is responsible for various cellular processes as well as determines specific trait (such as hair color, eye color) of the organism.
Thus, option C) is the right answer.
