A
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine
B
Adenine, Uracil, Cytosine, Guanine
C

Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is composed of four nitrogenous bases that pair up to form the rungs of the DNA double helix.
Recall that the four nitrogenous bases in DNA are divided into two categories: purines and pyrimidines. Purines include Adenine (A) and Guanine (G), while pyrimidines include Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T).
Recognize that Uracil (U) is not found in DNA; it is a base found in RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) instead of Thymine.
Review the options provided and identify the set of bases that includes Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine, as these are the bases found in DNA.
Select the option that lists Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine as the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA.
