Answer:

D. AGC TTC

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is the genetic material that stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It carries genes that are responsible for an organism's characteristics.

It contains some nitrogenous bases that can be purines, i.e., guanine and adenine, and pyrimidines, i.e., thymine and cytosine.

Purines makes pairing with pyrimidines like adenine always pairs opposite thymine, and cytosine pairs opposite guanine.

Thus, the sequence TCG AAG will have AGC TTC complementary strand.
