Solution

The correct option is A Uracil- Pentose sugar- Phosphate
Ribonucleotides are components of RNA while deoxyribonucleotides are components of DNA. RNA usually contains uracil base instead of thymine base which is commonly found in DNA. Hence, uracil - pentose sugar - phosphate is the ribonucleotide amongst all the options.
