They both contain carbon but nucleic acids contain phosphorus. So, the correct option is D.

What are nucleic acids and carbohydrates?

Nucleic acid is a naturally occurring chemical compound that is capable of being broken down to yield phosphoric acid, sugars, and a mixture of organic bases (purines and pyrimidines).

Nucleic acids are the main information-carrying molecules of the cell, and, by directing the process of protein synthesis, they determine the inherited characteristics of every living thing. The two main classes of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).

Carbohydrate is any member of a large and diverse family of naturally occurring organic molecules that include sugars, starch, and cellulose.

Monosaccharides (simple sugars such as glucose and fructose), disaccharides (2-unit sugars such as sucrose and lactose), oligosaccharides (3-10 or more sugars), and polysaccharides are the most prevalent types (large molecules with up to 10,000 monosaccharide units, including cellulose, starch, and glycogen).

Therefore the correct option is D.
