Answer: the 214bp fragment

Step-by-step explanation:

The agarose gel electrophoresis allows for the separation of DNA frame based on their sizes. Smaller fragments of DNA move through the gel more faster and thus move farther as compared with the larger fragments that moves slower and travel a shorter distance.
