Solution

The correct option is A GAATTC CTTAAG
EcoRI is the restriction enzyme, derived from Escherichia coli,strain R and is the first to be isolated. Eco RI recognises and cuts at the specific restriction site GAATTC CTTAAG. This is the common enzyme which is used as a tool for restriction of the bacterial plasmid and desired genes in the molecular biology techniques.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
