B
Adenine and Uracil, Cytosine and Guanine
C
Adenine and Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that RNA is a nucleic acid similar to DNA, but with some differences in its structure and function.
Recall that in DNA, the base pairs are Adenine (A) with Thymine (T) and Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G).
In RNA, Thymine (T) is replaced by Uracil (U), so the base pairs are Adenine (A) with Uracil (U) and Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G).
Identify the correct base pairing for RNA: Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U), and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
Review the options given and select the one that correctly matches the RNA base pairing: Adenine and Uracil, Cytosine and Guanine.
