Chicken Eggs
Eggs produced by chickens, commonly consumed as food by humans.
Nucleus
The organelle in a cell that houses the DNA and is responsible for controlling the cell's growth, metabolism, and reproduction.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The correct order from largest to smallest is chicken eggs, skin cell, nucleus, DNA molecule. Chicken eggs are visibly larger than skin cells, which in turn are larger than their nuclei, which house DNA molecules, the smallest in this list.
