B Correct answer
Explanation

H2A is important for packaging DNA into chromatin. Since, H2A packages DNA molecules into chromatin, the packaging process will effect gene expression. H2A has been correlated with DNA modification and epigenetics. H2A plays a major role in determining the overall structure of chromatin.
