Explanation / Answer

1. It is true that the cells store the information in the form of nucleotides. The long strands of nucleotides contain the sugar phosphate backbone and the nitrogenous bases (A,T,G,C). This, is the composition of the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). The nucleic acids forms the functional proteins of our body after trancription and translation. The base sequence in these nucleic acids, determines the functioning of these proteins. Thus, genetic information is carried, stored and passed on from generation to generation. So, the option a. is correct. The statements in b. to e are also correct but these are stating how the nucleic acids are functioning, and not on how information is stored.
