Answer: d thymine

Step-by-step explanation:

Adenine always pair with thymine to make double stranded structure of the DNA. Adenine can form two hydrogen bonds with thymine only. Each base in DNA can only bond with specific base molecule and the base pairing is called as complementary base pairing.

Same the cytosine form three hydrogen bond and paired with guanine only.
