The anti-parallel nature of DNA refers to

Question

The anti-parallel nature of DNA refers to (A) its charged phosphate groups (B) the formation of hydrogen bonds between bases from opposite strands (C) the opposite direction of the two strands (D) the pairing of bases on one strand with bases on the other strand
