Answer: c. the strands of the double helix are complementary.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process by which the double stranded DNA molecule get separated into two strands. These two stranded are separately copied by the cell machinery into two new DNA molecules from a single DNA molecule. Each complementary strand act as a template strand for the production of the new DNA molecule.
