Answer:
C. two tetramers of histone proteins
Explanation:
The nucleosome core particle is responsible for packaging DNA in the chromosomes. The protein components that make up the nucleosome core are two tetramers of histone proteins. One of which is composed of two units each of histones H2A and H2B, while the other one is composed of two units each of histones H3 and H4. Thus making up the entire protein component of the nucleosome core.
