Solution

The correct option is B Category -Nucleoside Component -Uracil
A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), whereas a nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.
In the given diagram, if X is uracil, a nitrogenous base, a nucleoside is obtained and hence is the correct option.
