Answer:

Option C. is correct.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff's rules, DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) from any species of an organism should have purine and pyrimidine bases in the ratio $1:1$

This ratio is very important for solving the structure of DNA.

As per this rule, DNA is double-stranded, and covalent bonds between identical nucleotides hold the strands together.

So, Option C. is correct.
