The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the sugar that forms the backbone of RNA. It provides four options: deoxyribose, ribose, sucrose, and maltose. 2. **Identifying the Components of RNA**: RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a nucleic acid that consists of a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous bases. The backbone of RNA is formed by alternating sugar and phosphate groups. 3. **Recognizing the Type of Sugar in RNA**: The sugar present in RNA is specifically ribose. This is different from DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid), which contains deoxyribose. 4. **Eliminating Incorrect Options**: - **Deoxyribose**: This sugar is found in DNA, not RNA. - **Sucrose and Maltose**: These are disaccharides and are not involved in the structure of nucleic acids. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the information, the correct answer is ribose, which is option B. 6. **Final Answer**: The backbone of RNA consists of ribose sugar. ---
