Answer:

B: UGGCUCGAA

Step-by-step explanation:

In the RNA strand, the complementary strand would be B, because-

A=U

G=C

C=G

T=A

Plug in the complementary letters and you will get your answer.

Hope this helps!

Tip: the only thing different between finding the complementary RNA strand and the DNA strand is that A=T in the DNA strand, because there is no uracil(U). Everything else is the same.
