What is the only organelle that directly encounters DNA?

According to the AP practice Biology Exam, there apparantly is only one organelle that will directly encounter the DNA of the organism. Which is the correct organelle?What is the only organelle that directly encounters DNA?
Hmmmm... not sure if that exam question is correct. Poorly worded question. Penalizes someone with too much information.



So let's see.... an organelle....



guess the nucleus is considered an organelle... it has DNA inside of it.



However, there is another organelle that has it's own DNA, and that is the mitochondria



and Chloroplasts also have their own DNA.
