The DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) have complementary stands which are spirally bound to each other. The nucleotides held these two strands of the DNA together. The four nucleotides of the human DNA includes the adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C). The adenine forms hydrogen bond with thymine and the guanine forms bond with cytosine. Hence, the complementary strand of the AGG-CTA-AAC will be TCC-GAT-TTG.

Hence, the answer is 'Option D - TCC-GAT-TTG'.
