Solution

The correct option is C Purines
Purines and Pyrimidines are nitrogenous bases that make up the two different kinds of nucleotide bases in DNA and RNA. The two-carbon nitrogen ring bases (adenine and guanine) are purines, while the one-carbon nitrogen ring bases (thymine, cytosine, and uracil) are pyrimidines.
Hence Adenine and guanine are two purines.
So, the correct answer is 'Purines'.
