The correct answer is option A, that is, only DNA comprises nucleotides.

Nucleotides refer to the organic molecules, which function as the monomer units for producing the nucleic acid polymer DNA. Nucleotides are the building elements of nucleic acids. They are comprised of three subunit molecules, that is, a five-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and at least one phosphate group.
