The packaging of DNA into chromatin helps to reduce the size of the DNA molecule to fit within the nucleus, which is necessary because the eukaryotic genome is typically much larger than that of prokaryotes. The packaging also helps to protect DNA from damage by environmental factors such as radiation and chemicals. However, it does not directly increase the rate of DNA replication or facilitate the transcription of RNA from the DNA template. Hence option 3 is the correct answer.
