Solution

The correct option is A It is single stranded DNA
If there are 5386 nucleotides and A=29%, G=17%, C=32%, and T=17%, then considering the Chargaff’s rule, it can be concluded that it is a single-stranded DNA as the amount of adenine is not equal to the amount of thymine and the amount of guanine is not equal to the amount of cytosine. Hence, the correct answer is ‘It is single-stranded DNA’
