Choose the true statement(s) regarding phosphodiester bonds. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.

Phosphodiester bonds are what hold the "sugar-phosphate" backbone of DNA together
Phosphodiester bonds hold the "rungs" of a double-stranded DNA "ladder" together.
Phosphodiester bonds are created by linking the 3' hydroxyl group to the 5' phosphate of an adjacent nucleotide.
Phosphodiester bonds are only in DNA

Answer #1

The correct statements are (A), (C)

It is because the phosphodiester bond is formed between two consecutive nucleotides, and this is how the rest of nucleotides are joined. It is formed by joining the 3'OH of one sugar and the 5' phosphate of another consecutive sugar. This phosphodiester bond is formed between one sugar-phosphate-another sugar .so, it makes the sugar-phosphate-another backbone
