B Correct answer
Explanation

This option is correct because all nucleic acids are correctly matched. Peptide nucleic acid is an artificially synthesised polymer similar to DNA or RNA invented by Peter E. Nielsen. A locked nucleic acid is a modified RNA nucleotide synthesised by the group of Jesper Wengel. Threose nucleic acid is an artificial genetic polymer invented by Albert Eschenmoser.
