Answer:

The correct answer would be "chromosomes are the most condensed form of DNA".

DNA is present as chromatin fiber in the nucleus of the cell.

During cell division, the DNA or chromatin fiber gets condensed and converted into the structure termed as a chromosome.

Chromosome also contains few proteins which help in the condensation or packing of nucleic acid such as histone proteins.

DNA strand → Chromatin fiber (beads on a string) → 30 nm chromatin fiber → 300 nm chromatin fiber → chromosome
