Solution

The correct option is B DNA
Uracil is also known as 2,4-dioxypyrimidine, which is present in the RNA; if it is methylated we get thymine (5-methyl-2,4-dioxypyrimindine) which is present in the DNA. So the molecule containing methylated uracil will be labeled as DNA.

Uracil and Methylated uracil(thymine)
