A) alternate form of a gene.
Perhaps some description explains some points.
A chromosome contains (base pairs of) DNA strands. A DNA strand contains many genes. A gene is part of DNA. Gene encodes the function (gene expression).
An Allele is a variant or alternate form of gene. Allele = Allelomorph = another form.
A gene can have multiple forms resulting in inherited traits being unique for each form. like eye color, hair color. Each form is an allele of a gene.
