C)prophage

E)proteome

Accepted Answer

The genome is the complete set of DNA in an organism, which includes all of the genetic material of a cell. Chromosomes and plasmids are subsets of the genome, while prophage refers to a specific type of genetic material found in viruses. Proteome refers to all of the proteins produced by a cell, not the genetic material itself.
