Solution
The correct option is A Uracil
The nitrogenous base Uracil is found only in RNA, whereas in DNA the uracil is replaced by the base thymine. Uracil is generally not found in DNA, although there are exceptions. For eg. DNA of several phages, Hypermutations during the synthesis of vertebrate antibodies etc.
Deoxyribose sugar is found only in DNA and is the the characteristic difference between a DNA and RNA.
Phosphate and adenine are found both in DNA and RNA.
