"Chromosomes contain DNA." is the true statement.
Brief explanations:
- Chromosomes are structures made of DNA wrapped around proteins (histones).
- DNA does not contain chromosomes; chromosomes are made of DNA.
- Haploid cells (gametes) have half the number of chromosomes of diploid body (somatic) cells, so their numbers differ.
- Chromosomes are not generally found in sets of three (except in abnormal/rare cases like triploidy or certain aneuploidies).
