The structure of DNA resembles a twisted ladder. Which structural components form the rungs of the ladder?

The rungs of the DNA ladder are formed by pairs of nitrogenous bases, with each base on one strand pairing with a base on the opposite strand. Deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups make up the sides, or backbone, of the ladder. So the correct choice is nitrogenous base pairs.
