Correct answer: "DNA has the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA has the sugar ribose."

Brief explanation:
- DNA's sugar is deoxyribose; RNA's sugar is ribose.
- Transcription copies DNA to mRNA; translation converts mRNA into protein (the first option is reversed and false).
- DNA is usually double-stranded; RNA is usually single-stranded (so "both double-stranded" is false).
- Thymine is found in DNA; cytosine is found in both DNA and RNA (so that option is false).
