In an experiment,$DNA$ is treated with a compound that intercalates between the stacks of nitrogenous base pairs. As a result,the distance between two consecutive base pairs increases from $0.34 \, nm$ to $0.44 \, nm$. Calculate the length of the $DNA$ double helix (which has $2 \times 10^9 \, bp$) in the presence of a saturating amount of this compound. (in $m$)

  • A
    $0.44$
  • B
    $0.88$
  • C
    $0.68$
  • D
    $1.32$
