A
phosphate
B
deoxyribose sugar
C
ribose sugar
D
nitrogenous base (ATGC)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gene. A segment of a DNA molecule (a sequence of bases) that codes for a particular protein and determines the traits (phenotype) of the individual. A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -ACGT is an acronym for the four types of bases found in a DNA molecule: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Detailed explanation-3: -The four bases-ATCG. Adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are the four nucleotides found in DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -ATCG stands for Adenosine Thymine Cytosine Guanine (nucleotides making up DNA)
