Explanation:

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is known as the genetic material. It contains the genetic instructions or blueprint for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. These instructions are used by cells to make proteins and carry out various life - processes.

• The option "A specific characteristic of a living thing" is incorrect. A characteristic like eye color or plant height is a trait, not DNA itself.
• The option "The field of science that studies the inheritance of traits" refers to genetics, not DNA.
• The option "Structure that helps our cells better organize genetic information" describes chromosomes (which are made up of DNA and proteins), not DNA in its basic definition.

Answer:

The genetic blueprint, or instructions, for our cells
