Solution

The correct option is B ATP
A ribose nucleotide contains three phosphate group called ATP. The structure of ATP has an ordered carbon compound as a backbone, but the part that is really critical is the phosphorous part - the triphosphate. Three phosphorous groups are connected by oxygens to each other, and there are also side oxygens connected to the phosphorous atoms.
