Answer: A
Genome size refers to the DNA in a Haploid genome.
Genome size is the C-value: the amount of DNA in one complete haploid set of chromosomes, as found in a gamete, given in picograms or base pairs. The human genome, for example, is about 3.1 billion base pairs, while a diploid human cell contains about twice that.
A diploid nucleus holds two genomes, so measuring it would double the figure; 'haploid as well as diploid' therefore cannot both be the genome size. The DNA of a complete organism would depend on the number of cells and is not a fixed property of the species.
