b) double stranded
c) found only in the nucleus
d) features the bases G, T,A and C

a, b, and d

Hence, the correct properties of DNA according to the question are:

affects the water bodies: excessive use of fertilizers causes eutrophication. the fertilizers which are used on plants affect the quality of land on which it is used, further causing erosion of soil. the fertilizers used on plants contain harmful chemical fumes which affect the environment.
