Solution

The correct option is D GAATTC
It is a restriction enzyme that cleaves DNA double helices into fragments at specific sites and is also a part of the restriction modification system. The nucleic acid recognition sequence where the enzyme cuts is GAATTC which has a palindromic, complementary sequence of CTTAAG.
So, option D is the correct option.
