The true statement is:

DNA has the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA has the sugar ribose.

The other statements are false. Thymine is only found in DNA, but cytosine is present in both DNA and RNA. Translation is the process that converts mRNA into proteins, while transcription is the process that copies DNA to mRNA. Additionally, DNA is typically double-stranded, while RNA is usually single-stranded.
