Answer:4)TAAGGCTGGCCC

Explanation: A complementary strand of DNA is a strand which is not the same as the template strand in base sequence and composition rather a complementary is a strand that has thymine wherever adenine occurs in the template strand and cytosine anywhere guanine is found in the template strand. This means that in DNA base pairing, adenine pairs with thymine while cytosine pairs with guanine.
