C. If the assertion is true but the reason is a false statement.

Answer

B

Explanation

Histones are basic proteins of major importance in packaging of eukaryotic DNA. DNA and histones together comprise chromatin , forming the bulk of the eukaryotic chromosomes. Histones are of five major types, H1, H2A and H2B are lysine rich ,H3 and H4 arginine -rich,`H_(1)` units link neighbouring nucleosomes while the others are elements of nucleosome structure . Histone proteins are synthesized during the S-phase when DNA synthesis occurs.
