The correct response is:

A long sequence of nucleotides in a specific order codes for a genetic trait.

DNA is composed of long sequences of nucleotides, and these sequences determine genetic traits through the coding of genes. Each gene can vary in length and complexity, but they all originate from the specific order of nucleotides.
