    deoxyribose is the correct option.

    Explanation:

    The sugar present in DNA is called deoxyribose.

    Deoxyribose is a pentose type of sugar, it is made up of ten hydrogen atom and the oxygen atom is four.

    which plays a major role in DNA formation, it is a building block of the DNA.

    Deoxyribose sugar makes the DNA stable as compared to RNA because it has one oxygen less containing hydroxyl group.

    Thus DNA contains deoxyribose sugar molecule.

    Deoxyribose would be the answer. A DNA molecule is composed of two strands and each strand is composed of nucleotides which bond together with deozyribose sugars.
