Solution
The correct option is D (Base - Sugar - Phosphate)n
Nucleotides are the monomers, or subunits, of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine), a five-carbon sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and a phosphate group. 'n' is the number of nucleotides join to form a nucleic acid.
