Answer:

The correct answer is ribose.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA and RNA are the nucleic acids which plays an important role in storing genetic material.

RNA stands for ribonucleic acid while DNA stands for de-oxyribonucleic acid

These nucleic acid differ in their structure as DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose.
