Deoxyribonucleoside Triphosphates (DNTPs) Are the Building Blocks Used in DNA

Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) are the building blocks used in DNA synthesis. They are added to the strand of DNA being synthesised by

A) the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the 2' dexoyribose on the growing strand and the phosphate of the incoming nucleotide.
B) the loss of two phosphates from dNTP.
C) the formation of a hydrogen bond with the 3' OH group of the newly synthesised DNA strand.
D) the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the nitrogenous base of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another.
E) the action of the enzyme RNA polymerase.
