Palindromic sequence of base pairs.

(D) The given sequence is $5'-GAATTC-3'$ and $3'-CTTAAG-5'$.When read in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction,both strands have the same sequence: $GAATTC$.This type of sequence is known as a palindromic nucleotide sequence.Palindromic sequences are recognized by restriction endonucleases,which cut the $DNA$ at specific sites.Therefore,the correct option is $D$.
