Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A and B are wrong since the whole point of unzipping a DNA molecule is to separate the paired bases so replication can occur off of each template strand. C is incorrect since there are no amino acids in DNA strands. D would be the answer as that is just what the structure of DNA looks like
