The correct answer is:
**A. The DNA is the same, but different genes are activated.**
In both muscle cells and nerve cells, the DNA contained in the nucleus is identical, as all cells in an organism generally share the same genetic material. However, different types of cells activate different sets of genes, leading to the expression of distinct proteins that define the specific functions of muscle cells and nerve cells.
