While analysing the DNA of an organism a total number of 5386 nucleotides were found out of which the proportion of different bases were: Adenine = 29%, Guanine = 17%, Cytosine = 32%, Thymine = 17%. Considering Chargaff’s rule it can be concluded that:

1. it is a double-stranded circular DNA
2. It is single-stranded DNA
3. It is a double-stranded linear DNA
4. No conclusion can be drawn
