Solution

The correct option is C Guanine
In nucleic acids, three types of nucleobases are pyrimidine derivatives: cytosine (C), thymine (T), and uracil (U). Purines and pyrimidines make up the two groups of nitrogenous bases, including the two groups of nucleotide bases. So, Guanine is not a pyrimidine derivative.
