Cytosine and guanine,
The way I remember is cars in the garage (cytosine and guanine) and apples on the trees (adenine and thymine)

Answer:

cytosine and guanine

Step-by-step explanation:

First choice and second choice is incorrect because look at our answer. (Cytosine pairs with Guanine, and thymine pairs with Adenine)

Fourth is incorrect because thymine pairs with Adenine (and in RNA Uracil pairs with Adenine)
