Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Complementary Sequence: Since DNA has two strands, every DNA sequence has a complementary sequence running parallel. In the complementary sequence, Adenine (A) is always paired with Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) is always paired with Guanine (G).
Detailed explanation-2: -The complementary DNA strand of the sequence ATGC will be TACG.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA is a double-stranded helix in which the 2 strands are complementary to each other. The purine in one strand pairs with a pyrimidine in the other strand of the helix i.e., A always paired with T and C always paired with G. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
