Answer:

AT, CG, CG, AT, CG

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the answer is the last one, AT, CG, CG, AT, CG.

When we read the question, it says base pairings of a DNA sample in her lab. The only base pairs in DNA is A, T, C, and G.

A is complementary to T, and C is complementary to G.

Therefore, you can eliminate the first three.

Hope this helps you!
