(b) hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

The reason for double helical structure of DNA is operation of hydrogen bonding. The two polynucleotide chains or strands of DNA are linked up by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogenous base molecules of their nucleotide monomers. Adenine-Thymine (two hydrogen bonds) and Cytosine-Guanine (three hydrogen bonds).

Option B is the answer.
