Explanation / Answer

Answer: Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Molecule size = 4
Number of different nucleic acid sequences possible = 4^4 = 256
Number of different peptide sequences possible = 20^4 = 16000

The number of Hexose sugars = Variable.
Number of aldohexoses = Allose, altrose, glucose, mannose, gulose, idose, galactose, and talose.
Number of ketohexoses = Psicose, Fructose, Sorbose and Tagatose.
They can also show D and L isomerism.

So, least variability is shown by the nucleic acid sequence as there are only four possible nucleotides possible for each position.
