What is the genetic material of a cell made of?

Lipids
Carbohydrates
DNA
Proteins

The correct answer is: DNA

The genetic material of a cell is made up of DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is a type of nucleic acid and it is responsible for storing and transmitting genetic information in all living organisms. While lipids and carbohydrates are important biomolecules for cellular structure and energy storage, they do not serve as genetic material. Proteins also play important roles in the functioning of cells, but they do not make up the genetic material. Therefore, the correct answer is C DNA.
