[2003]
(a) Amounts of all bases are equal
(b) Amount of adenine (A) is equal to that of thymine $(T)$ and the amount of guanine $(G)$ is equal to that of cytosine (C)
(c) Amount of adenine (A) is equal to that of guanine $(G)$ and the amount of thymine $(T)$ is equal to that of cytosine (C)
(d) Amount of adenine (A) is equal to that of cytosine (C) and the amount of thymine $(T)$ is equal to that of guanine $(G)$
