The two polynucleotide chain in DNA are:

1. Semiconservative
2. Parallel
3. Discontinuous
4. Antiparallel

Correct answer: Antiparallel

Solution

DNA’s two polynucleotide strands are oriented in opposite directions, meaning one runs 5'→3' and the other 3'→5'. This opposite arrangement is called antiparallel.
