Which of the following could be a restriction enzyme recognition site?

A) ATGCAT
B)ATCATC
C)AAAGGG
D)ATCCTA

PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE ANSWER ALONG

The correct option is A because restriction site should be a palindromic sequence.
Given sequence is 5'-ATGCAT-3'
Complementary sequence is 3'-TACGTA-5'
Palindromic sequences are those sequences which when read from 5' to 3' as well as from 3' to 5' will represent the same sequence.
