Solution

The correct option is A AAC CTC GA
Transition in DNA means when a pyrimidine is replaced with another pyrimidine or a purine is replaced with another purine. So here, second and third nucleotide is replaced with Adenine and Cytosine, then the sequence will become AAC CTC GA.
Thus, the correct answer is 'AAC CTC GA.'
