    (A) Protein-coding genes make up far less of the human genome than noncoding DNA.

    Explanation:

    The human genome contains both protein-coding and non-coding sequences. However, the non-coding sequences make most of the human genome as they account for as much as 98.5% of the total human genome. The non-coding part of the human genome serves other important functions such as promoter, enhancers, silencers for gene expression.

    An only small part of the human genome serves as protein-coding genes and make exons.
