The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Know the purine and pyrimidine bases. 
- Purines: Adenine (A), Guanine (G) 
- Pyrimidines: Cytosine (C), Thymine (T), Uracil (U — found in RNA, not DNA) 
Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options. 
- Option (1): Uracil is not a component of DNA (RNA only) 
- Option (2): Guanine is a purine, Cytosine is a pyrimidine, but order is reversed 
- Option (3): Uracil is not present in DNA 
- Option (4): Adenine (purine) and Cytosine (pyrimidine) is the correct pair in correct order.
