Solution
The correct option is
C
Unpaired bases
After digestion of DNA with certain restriction enzymes like EcoRI, there is one unpaired overhanging strand produced at each end.
This overhang will easily re-attach to other ends that are complementary to it, thus known as "sticky ends".
So, the correct answer is option C.
