C
Double Helix
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Double helix, as related to genomics, is a term used to describe the physical structure of DNA. A DNA molecule is made up of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder in a helix-like shape. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups.

Detailed explanation-2: -The structure of DNA can also be described as a ladder. The chemical backbones of the ladder are made up of sugar and phosphate molecules that are connected by chemical bonds. The rungs of the ladder are pairs of units between A and T or between C and G.
