Solution

The correct option is A Nucleotides
Nucleic acids are the biopolymers, or small biomolecules, essential to all known forms of life. The term nucleic acid is the overall name for DNA and RNA. They are composed of nucleotides, which are the monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
Thus the correct answer is A.
