Solution

The correct option is D Cannot be detrmined
Chargaff’s rule is applicable to the double-stranded DNA where percentage of guanine is equal to that of cytosine and percentage of adenine is equal to that of thymine.
Since the above given question is about single-stranded DNA, it is impossible to determine the percentage of nitrogenous bases.
