Meselson-Stahl experiment - DNA Replication is Semiconservative.
Meselson and Stahl proved that the semiconservative model of DNA replication was correct.
Watson-Crick Structure of DNA. Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is a double-stranded, helical molecule. It consists of two sugar-phosphate backbones on the outside, held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of nitrogenous bases on the inside.
X-ray crystallography - the study of crystals and their structure by means of the diffraction of X-rays by the regularly spaced atoms of crystalline materials. X-ray crystallography is a tool used for identifying the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline atoms cause a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions.
Chargaff's rules states that DNA from any cell of all organisms should have a 1:1 ratio (base Pair Rule) of pyrimidine and purine bases and, more specifically, that the amount of guanine is equal to cytosine and the amount of adenine is equal to thymine.
Avery's experiments showed that DNA is the transforming principle. It stated that bacterial transformation was caused by DNA. It is not correlated with Watson and crick model of DNA.
So, the correct answer is option D.
