Solution

The correct option is B Polymers of nucleotides
DNA and RNA are polynucleotides. They are polymers made up of nucleotides. They are synthesized by joining together of a large number of nucleotides with the help of ester bonds. Consecutive nucleotides in DNA and RNA are joined with the help of phosphodiester bonds.
