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).
