Solution
The correct option is D Phosphoric acid Nucleosides are made up of pentose sugar (ribose/deoxyribose) and a nitrogen base which can be a purine (adenine or guanine) or a pyrimidine (cytosine, thymine or uracil). It does not contain phosphate. So hydrolysis of nucleoside does not yield phosphoric acid.
