Recall the four nitrogenous bases that make up DNA: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).
Understand that DNA is composed of a double helix structure where these bases pair specifically: Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.
Recognize that Uracil (U) is a nitrogenous base found in RNA, not DNA. In RNA, Uracil replaces Thymine and pairs with Adenine.
Therefore, identify that among the options given, Uracil is the base that is NOT found in DNA.
Summarize that DNA contains Cytosine, Adenine, and Thymine, but Uracil is exclusive to RNA.
