A. are encoded in molecules of genetic material.

Explanation: Inherited traits are specified by genes made of DNA (or RNA in some viruses), which are present in the cells of an organism. They are not created only after growth (B), inheritance goes from parents to offspring not the reverse (C), and the instructions are in the organism's genetic material throughout the body, not only in the brain (D).
