The correct statement is:

A. Telomeres are DNA segments at each end of a chromosome

Telomeres are repetitive DNA sequences located at the ends of chromosomes. They protect the chromosome ends from degradation, prevent loss of genetic material during DNA replication, and help maintain chromosomal stability.
