Option (4).

Explanation:

Chromosome may be defined as highly compact DNA structure. The eukaryotic chromosome of different parts like centromere, short arm, long arm of chromosome and telomeres.

The telomeres are the DNA sequences present at the end of chromosome. These telomeres do not code for the proteins and get shorten after each round of replication. Telomeres are responsible for ageing in the living organisms.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).
