Nucleosomes can be defined as structures with a basic unit of DNA packaging which consists of a segment of DNA wrapped in sequence around eight histone protein core.
Histones are small proteins which have a high amount of basic amino acids (arginine and lysine).
The segment of DNA wrapped around a core of 8 histone proteins called octamer contains two each of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4.
So, the correct answer is 'H2A, H2B, H3,H4'.
