Answer:
c. one helix strand that runs from the 5' to 3' direction and the other strand runs from the 3' to 5' direction.
Explanation:
A DNA molecule has <em>two strands of nucleotides with a sugar phosphate backbone each, but orientated on the opposite direction </em>allowing for the base pairs to complement one another, making it a more stable structure. <em>When two biopolymers run parallel to each other but with opposite directionality (alignment) we have an antiparallel arrangement.</em>
