DNA has the double helical structure where the two strands are tightly coiled over each other. B- DNA has right-handed helix with the major and minor groove. The diameter of the DNA is 20 A. The number of base pairs in one turn is 10 and the distance between base pairs is 3.4 A. At major grooves, the base pairs are far apart while at minor groove the base pairs are closer. Major grooves have base pairs at a distance the DNA binding protein can easily interact with the bases.
So, the correct answer is option A.
