The correct answer is:

D. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

Explanation: RNA (ribonucleic acid) contains ribose sugar and uses uracil as one of its nitrogenous bases instead of thymine, which is found in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Since both chipmunks (which are animals) and molds (which are fungi) contain RNA, both would have RNA with ribose sugar and uracil.
