Sagot :

Answer: d. C-G

Explanation:

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a structure which is common in every living organism. The two strands of the DNA are held together by base complementarity between the nitrogenous bases these bases are held by hydrogen bonding. Adenine always pairs with thymine by a triple hydrogen bonding and cytosine is always forms a pair with that of guanine by a double hydrogen bonding. So, in this given situation cytosine or C will show complementarity with that of guanine or G in a DNA structure helping in linking the two strands of DNA to form a single integrated double helical structure.
