It breaks down into amino acids

It bonds to ribonucleic acid (RNA)

DNA does not break down into amino acids because it is not a protein.

DNA does not bond to RNA during replication, as RNA is only involved in transcription and translation processes.

During replication, DNA is copied and the new copies are passed on to the offspring. This process does not involve transcription, which is the conversion of DNA into RNA. Therefore, option C is the only correct answer.
