e phosphorous

Answer 1

Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are primarily composed of four types of atoms: carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). Among the options you provided, nucleic acids contain:

- **a** carbon
- **b** hydrogen
- **c** oxygen
- **d** nitrogen
- **e** phosphorus

So, all of the options (a, b, c, d, and e) are components of nucleic acids.
