<h2>Answer</h2>

The answer is (C) as the name of sugar that makes it up.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

DNA stands for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid. Deoxyribose is a five carbon (pentose) sugar. Name deoxy is given to it because of containing one oxygen less than ribose. It's formed by replacing the hydroxyl group (OH) with hydrogen (H) at carbon number 2. In DNA structure Deoxyribose molecule is attached to the next phosphate molecule with the help of phosphodiester bonds.
