Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

The structure of DNA revealed by Watson and Crick showed that Two strands of DNA are present in the intertwined state forming helix representing DNA as a double helix.

Each strand of DNA is made up of the monomer unit of DNA called nucleotide where each nucleotide binds to another nucleotide through weak covalent bond called phosphodiester bond.

The phosphodiester bond is formed between the 3’-OH group of one nucleotide to 5’ phosphate group of another nucleotide. In this way, the phosphate-sugar molecule forms the backbone of the DNA molecule.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer

B) implies that nuts are the only thing for birds to eat in a rainforest, which doesn't make sense, C) implies that the insects would need a widely-varied diet to survive, but again there's an abundance of things that a hungry bug can eat, so they don't need a wide dietary coverage, D) suggests that there may be droughts in the area for which the plant may need to be prepared, but in the RAINforest droughts are uncommon.
