Answer:

RNA contains an additional oxygen atom on the ribose sugar. (Ans. C)

Explanation:

RNA contains a sugar which is known as ribose, and which contains an extra group of hydroxyl (OH-) while DNA contains deoxyribose sugar.

RNA contains four nitrogenous bases cytosine, adenine, guanine, and uracil, while DNA contains cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine.

Double helix means two stranded structure like DNA, while RNA is single stranded.

DNA molecule is much longer polymer than RNA molecule.
