The correct answer is:
**b Deoxyribose sugar and Thymine**
In DNA, the sugar component is deoxyribose, and one of the four nitrogenous bases is thymine. In RNA, the sugar is ribose, and instead of thymine, RNA has uracil.
**b Deoxyribose sugar and Thymine**
In DNA, the sugar component is deoxyribose, and one of the four nitrogenous bases is thymine. In RNA, the sugar is ribose, and instead of thymine, RNA has uracil.
