Solution

The correct option is A 0.0
The given molecule is Adenine, which is a purine. Its complimentary nucleotide is Thymine in DNA and Uracil in RNA. Adenine makes a double hydrogen bond with its complimentary nucleotide. Nucleotides make hydrogen bonds with each other and not ionic bonds so the answer would be zero.
