As learnt in Types of DNA -

B-DNA:

  • This structure of DNA is formed under the normal physiology conditions like 92% relative humidity and in low ionic strength.

A-DNA:

  • It is formed under 75% relative humidity and in the presence of sodium, potassium and caesium ions.
  • A single turn in A-form comprises 11 base pairs perpendicular to the helical axis.

Z-DNA:

  • It is formed under very high salt concentration.
  • The diameter of the Z-form helix is 18Å.

 Hence, the correct option is (b).
