Answer:D). T with A, and C with G

Explanation: DNA is a nucleic acid found in the nucleus of a cell. It contains all the genetic information of the cell. Nucleic acids are made up of three parts: the nitrogenous base, the ribose sugar and phosphate group. DNA contains deoxyribose sugar. The bases found in nucleic acids are of two types: the pyrimidine and purine bases. The pyrimidine bases are Cytosine, Thymine and Uracil. The purine bases are Adenine and Guanine. In DNA, only two pyrimidine bases can be found: Cytosine and Thymine. In DNA base pairing, Thymine (T) pairs with Adenine (A) while Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
