C.

Genome, chromosome, gene, nucleotide

The correct order of organisation of genetic material from largest to smallest is as follows:
Genome, chromosome, gene, nucleotide.
Genome: It is the total genetic material of an individual.
Chromosome: It is a packed and organised structure containing most of the DNA of a living organism.
Gene: It is a segment of DNA that encodes for a protein. 
Nucleotide: It is one of the structural components or building blocks of DNA and RNA.
