Answer:

The distance between consecutive nitrogenous bases is 3.4 A°.

68 A° means the DNA strand has 68 ÷ 3.4 = 20 base pairs.

Each base pair has 2 bases, hence there are 40 bases.

As we know, 4 nucleotides form 2 base pairs then 40 nucleotides can form 20 base pairs.

So, the correct option is '40'
