Nucleotide
Explanation
The building blocks of DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid are known as nucleotides. A nucleotide is the basic structural unit and building block for DNA. These structures consist of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. There is no valid option named 'sugar' or 'base' for the given question; the complete structure is called a nucleotide.
