The rigth answer is B

DNA is composed of nucleotides, which itself consists of bases, sugar and phosphates. Each individual's DNA has about 3.4 billion nucleotide pairs.

It is the whole nucleotide that is polymerized during replication, but it is the success of bases that hold the genetic information of the individual.
