Detailed Solution

In Meselson and Stahl experiment after 40 minutes , there will be formation of 50% hybrid DNA and 50% light DNA . here in given diagram A-DNA and D-DNA are light DNA ( both the strands are with ¹⁴N),B-DNA and C-DNA are hybrid DNA (one strand is with ¹⁴N and another strand is with ¹⁵N).As D-DNA is light DNA ,there is no ¹⁵N strand in D-NA .
