Explanation:

Let's consider each statement:

1. DNA refers to Deoxyribonucleic Acid. - This is correct. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid, the molecule that carries genetic information.

2. It is located in the ribosomes. - This is incorrect. DNA is primarily located in the cell nucleus and not in the ribosomes. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis and are composed of RNA and proteins.

3. It is composed of Ribonucleic Acid. - This is incorrect. DNA is composed of nucleotides that contain deoxyribose sugar, not ribose which is found in RNA.

4. It can make a copy of itself. - This is correct. DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself.

Option 1 (1 and 4) is the correct choice
