AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding DNA**: DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the genetic material found in living organisms. It is primarily located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and also exists in mitochondria. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Enucleated Ovum**: An enucleated ovum is an egg cell that lacks a nucleus. However, it still contains mitochondria, which have their own DNA. Therefore, this option cannot be correct. - **Option 2: Mature RBCs (Red Blood Cells)**: Mature red blood cells in mammals do not have a nucleus or mitochondria. Since both of these organelles are absent, mature RBCs do not contain any DNA. This option is a strong candidate for the correct answer. - **Option 3: Mature Spermatozoon**: A mature sperm cell has a nucleus and mitochondria, both of which contain DNA. Thus, this option cannot be correct. - **Option 4: Hair Root**: The hair root contains living cells, which have a nucleus and therefore contain DNA. This option is also not correct. 3. **Conclusion**: After analyzing all the options, the only one that does not contain DNA is the mature red blood cells (RBCs). Therefore, the correct answer is **Option 2: Mature RBCs**. ---
