The correct answer is:
**B** a single strand of chromosomes, or half of the new organism's DNA.
During sexual reproduction, each parent contributes one set of chromosomes (one half of the complete set of DNA) to the offspring. This results in the offspring having a combination of genetic material from both parents.
