The best choice from those options is: "In the nucleus of every cell."
Clarification: That statement is true for most eukaryotic cells (plants, animals, fungi), where the bulk of an organism's DNA is in the nucleus. However, there are important exceptions: prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) have DNA in a nucleoid region in the cytoplasm, mitochondria and chloroplasts also contain their own DNA, and mature mammalian red blood cells lack a nucleus (so they have no nuclear DNA). Ribosomes do not contain DNA, and DNA does not normally roam freely around the cell or body.
