<reasoning>

Identify the nitrogenous bases in DNA

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) contains four nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1 contains uracil, which is found in RNA, not DNA.
• Option 2 contains uracil, which is found in RNA, not DNA.
• Option 3 contains glycine, which is an amino acid, not a nucleic acid base.
• Option 4 correctly lists adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

<answer>
<mcq-option>thymine, guanine, cytosine, uracil</mcq-option>
<mcq-option>guanine, cytosine, uracil, adenine</mcq-option>
<mcq-option>cytosine, glycine, adenine, thymine</mcq-option>
<mcq-correct>adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine</mcq-correct>
