Solution

The correct option is A True
DNA has deoxyribose sugar. The DNA is comprised of four bases; Adenine and Guanine which are purines and, Thymine and Cytosine which are pyrimidines. The monomers of DNA are the nucleotides that have deoxyribose sugar linked with the bases Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.
Hence, Deoxythymidine is a monomer nucleotide of DNA.
So, the correct answer is 'True'.
