D
NONE OF THE ABOVE
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two strands of complementary sequence are referred to as sense and anti-sense. The sense strand is, generally, the transcribed sequence of DNA or the RNA that was generated in transcription, while the anti-sense strand is the strand that is complementary to the sense sequence.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complementary strands The complementary strand for DNA must follow the base pairing and polarity rules. Pairing means that A=T and G=C. Polarity means that the strands have to run in opposite directions. First write the correct base pairing below the original sequence and label the 5’ and 3’ ends.
