Solution

The correct option is C Uracil
RNA is made up of ribonucleotides. Ribonucleotides have adenine and guanine as purine bases and cytosine and uracil as pyrimidine bases. In a chain of RNA, adenine may attach with uracil with the help of a double hydrogen bond. The guanine may attach with cytosine with the help of a triple hydrogen bond.
So, the correct answer is option C.
