My organic text doesn;t get much into it, but the DNA daughter strand cannot combine to form a replicant unless the base pairs form correctly, I’d go with C if I was you. Check the internets for Watson-Crick, those guys came up with the 3D DNA model we all know and love. Hope this gets you in the right direction!
