Out of the 4 base pairs that are shown, B and C are the ONLY Watson-Crick
base pairs that are found in BOTH DNA and RNA
The base pair seen in B is more stable than the Watson-Crick base pair shown in
C partly because of a larger number of hydrogen bonds and partly because of
more favourable pi-stacking interactions with adjacent base pairs.
The base pair shown in D is almost never found in the DNA double helix.
