Answer:

(C) RNA contains the sugar ribose, while DNA does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

RNA stands for ribonucleic acid and DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. As a result, RNA has ribose and DNA has deoxyribose. DNA does not have the ribose. As a side note, the term "ribose" is similar to "ribonucleic".
