Solution

The correct option is D Adenylic acid
Adenine + Ribose

Adenine is a purine molecule and ribose is a pentose sugar. Addition of adenine to the 1’ carbon atom of the ribose sugar results in the formation of a nucleoside named adenosine.

Adenine + Ribose + Phosphoric acid

When adenosine (adenine + ribose) combines with phosphoric acid, the phosphate group attaches itself to the 5’ carbon of the ribose sugar and forms a nucleotide named adenosine monophosphate or adenylic acid.


Final answer
a. Adenylic acid
