I think it’s B. Both contain phosphate group. It’s the most accurate answer in my opinion. Correct me if I’m wrong please

Answer:

Option B, they both contain phosphate groups

Step-by-step explanation:

The structure of nucleic acid consists of backbone made up of sugar-phosphate. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) and Ribonucleic acid (RNA) are made up of nucleotides linked to each other by ester bonds. These ester bonds connects the sugar base of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the near by nucleotide

Like wise a phospolipid, consists of one glycerol molecule, two fatty acids, and one modified phosphate group with an alcohol.

Hence, option B is correct
