Answer:

The correct answer is B. nucleic acid

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a biomolecule which belongs to the chemical groups of nucleic acids. Nucleic acids include DNA and RNA (ribonucleic acid) and they were called in this way because they were discovered initially within the nucleus of the cells. They are polymers- composed by nucleotids bonded in definited sequences- and they are in charge of the genetic information transference in living organisms.
