DNA is a nucleic acid polymer composed of which repeating structural unit?

Answer
A
ribosomes
B
proteins
C
nucleotides
D
phosphate groups

Explanation

DNA is a polymer, meaning it is built from repeating smaller units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Phosphate groups are part of each unit, but they are not the complete repeating structural unit, so the correct choice is nucleotides.
