The answer is the second one (genotype): the genetic makeup of an organism.

Explanation:

  • Phenotype: This refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism, such as its morphology, development, biochemical properties, and behavior, which result from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
  • Genotype: This is the term for the genetic makeup of an organism. It includes all the genes and their variations that an organism inherits from its parents.
  • DNA: This stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. While DNA is the material that makes up genes, it is not the term specifically used to describe the genetic makeup of an organism.

Summary: The term for the genetic makeup of an organism is "genotype."
