Solution

The correct option is A Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates

Formation of new DNA molecule from a parent DNA molecule is called DNA replication. It occurs in cytoplasm in prokaryotes and nucleus in eukaryotes. During replication, energy rich deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates are the source of energy, in the formation of new DNA molecule.
So, the correct option is ‘Dexoyribonucleoside triphosphates’.
