Ans.

The DNA dexoyribonucleotide acid) is a nucleotide polymer' that functions as genetic material in all living organisms. Each nucleotide comprises a five cabon sugar, a phosphate molecule, and a base (nitrogen base). The nucleotides bind together with phosphodiester bonds to make DNA strands.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option D). a nucleotide.'
