The base composition of a viral genome is 38% adenine, 17% cytosine, 23% guanine, and 22% uracil. Based on this, the genome of this virus is: Double-stranded DNASingle-stranded DNADouble-stranded RNASingle-stranded RNA

Ok so, DNA is always double stranded while RNA is a single stranded molecule. This cancels out the 2nd and 3rd options. Also the Bases for DNA are thymine, adenine, cytosine and guanine, while the bases for RNA are uracil, adenine, cytosine and guanine (uracil replaces thymine). So the answer would be the 4th Option: "Single stranded RNA". At least that's what I would say, but just check. Let me know if its something else. I would be curious to know why.
