Answer:

D. providing the instructions for the traits of an organism

Step-by-step explanation:

It can't be A because RNA is used for replication not DNA

It can't be B because mistakes in the RNA are what causes mutation.

It can't be C because sugar phosphate wouldn't be in the nucleus.

It has to be D because that is the purpose in DNA is to give instructions to the cell
