Answer:

DNA only.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both DNA and RNA are built with a sugar backbone, but whereas the sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose, the sugar in RNA is called simply ribose. The ‘deoxy’ prefix denotes that, whilst RNA has two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to its carbon backbone, DNA has only one, and has a lone hydrogen atom attached instead.
