Correct choice is (d) Length of DNA

Easiest explanation: The characteristic feature of an organism is the length of its DNA. The length of the DNA is USUALLY defined as the number of NUCLEOTIDES or the number of base pairs present in it. As this substance was ACIDIC in nature, ALTMANN named it as a NUCLEIC acid.
