Solution

The correct option is D AT $/$ GC ratio
By Chargaff's rule,
Percentage of adenine $=$ percentage of thymine and percentage of guanine $=$ percentage cytosine, for any species on earth.
That is, $A = T$ and $G = C$ .
Adding the two, we get,
$A + G = T + C$
Clearly AT/GC ratio must be the answer.
Indeed this is true. The $A T / G C$ ratio varies from person to person.
Everyone has a unique DNA and this uniqueness is due to the difference in $A T / G C$ ratio.
