Explanation / Answer

As both strands of DNA are complementary to each other means hydrogen bonds will form between A and T & G and C of two opposite strands and vice versa.

So for the given sequence 5'- ATTGCCA-3' ,the complementary sequence wil be 3'- TAACGGT- 5' or 5'- TGGCAAT -3'.

So option B is correct.
