Solution
The correct option is C Hydrogen bonds
The antiparallel nature of DNA strands is needed to form the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases. The antiparallel nature makes the DNA stable by facilitating the formation of more hydrogen bonds in the nitrogenous bases. At the same time, it helps in increasing the rate of replication (DNA duplication) by dividing the DNA into segments that replicate simultaneously.
