In the context of using the scenario of building structures with interlocking bricks as a model for genetic information, the most accurate statement is:

The manual is a chromosome.

In this analogy, the manual represents the entire set of genetic instructions found in a chromosome, which contains the genes (each structure built from the bricks) and the set of instructions for building proteins (the interlocking bricks).
