Solution
The correct option is
D
Both are polymer of nucleotides
DNA and RNA both are polymers of nucleotides. They are long polymers made from repeating units called nucleotides.
The strands are known as polynucleotides since they are composed of simpler units called nucleotides.
Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogen-containing nucleobase as well as a monosaccharide sugar and a phosphate group.
So, the correct answer is option A.
