How are deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (precursors of daughter DNA strands) and ribonucleoside triphosphates (precursors of RNA strand) differ from each other?

O A. Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates have an additional sugar residue at the 2' carbon (carbon number 2) in its
deoxyribose. Meanwhile, an amino acid residue is not attached at the 2' carbon of ribonucleoside triphosphates in its
ribose.
O B. Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates have an oxygen atom at the 2' carbon (carbon number 2) in its deoxyribose.
Meanwhile, an oxygen atom is not attached at the 2' carbon of ribonucleoside triphosphates in its ribose.
OC Deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates have an amino acid residue at the 2' carbon (carbon number 2) of in
