Solution
The correct option is A ATC-TAG GCC-GGC ATU-TAG As we know DNA contain Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine where A binds with T and G binds with C by hydrogen bonds while in case of RNA only Uracil replaces Thymine which A binds with U and G binds with C. So, the correct option is option B.
