\mathrm{Length \ of\: DNA=1.1 \mathrm{~m}}

\mathrm{Distance\: bet^{n}\: 2 \: base\: pairs =0.34 \mathrm{~nm}}

                                                   =0.34\times 10^{-9}\mathrm{m}

\mathrm{\therefore N \: Q \: of \: Base\: pairs =\frac{1.1}{0.34} \times 10^{-9}}

                                              =3.23\times 10^{-9}\mathrm{bp}

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
