Answer: The correct answer is-

Both chipmunk and Worm will contain the single stranded RNA with ribose sugar ( unlike DNA that has deoxyribose sugar) and the same nitrogenous bases that are Adenine, Uracil, Guanine, and Cytosine.

RNA ( ribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid that contains ribose sugar instead of deoxyribose sugar in its nucleotides (small unit that makes the nucleic acid). Apart from this, it contains Uracil nitrogenous base instead of Thymine, which is present in DNA.
