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.
