Answer: Hydrogen Bond

Explanation: The nitrogenous bases point present on onse strand og DNA form pairs with bases on the other side.

Each base pair is formed from two complementary nucleotides (purine with pyrimidine) which are bound together by hydrogen bonds.

Thus when bases pair up in DNA , the force holding them is known to be the Hydrogen Bonds.
