The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding Chargaff's rule and appropriate base pairing, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Chargaff's Rule**: Chargaff's rule states that in DNA, the amount of adenine (A) is equal to thymine (T), and the amount of guanine (G) is equal to cytosine (C). This means A pairs with T and G pairs with C. 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option A: AGCT**: - A does not pair with G. - C does not pair with T. - Therefore, this option does not follow Chargaff's rule. - **Option B: ACGT**: - A does not pair with C. - G does not pair with T. - Therefore, this option also does not follow Chargaff's rule. - **Option C: ATGC**: - A pairs with T (correct). - G pairs with C (correct). - This option follows Chargaff's rule. - **Option D: All of these**: - Since only option C is correct, this option is incorrect. 3. **Conclusion**: The only option that shows appropriate base pairing according to Chargaff's rule is **Option C: ATGC**. ### Final Answer: The correct option that shows appropriate base pairing according to Chargaff's rule is **Option C: ATGC**. ---
