Vedclass · Answer

(D) In a nucleic acid,two consecutive nucleotides are joined by a $3'-5'$ phosphodiester linkage.This bond is formed between the $3'$-hydroxyl group of the sugar of one nucleotide and the $5'$-phosphate group of the next nucleotide.This linkage creates the sugar-phosphate backbone of the polynucleotide chain.Therefore,the correct option is $D$.
