B. Because histones are strongly attracted to the positively charged phosphate backbone of DNA
C. Because histones and DNA have opposite charges, which improves the compaction of DNA into nucleosomes
D. Because histones and DNA have the same charge, which improves the compaction of DNA into nucleosomes
