Which statement BEST describes why the sugar phosphate nucleic acid backbone is on the outer part of the DNAdouble helix while the nitrogenous bases are on the inside of the double helix?O The sugar phosphate backbone is hydrophilic while the bases are less polar.○ The sugar phosphate backbone is hydrophobic while the bases are hydrophilic.The nitrogen bases are covalently bonded to each other.O There is no reason; the structure is just that way.

This arrangement maximizes the interactions between the hydrophilic sugar-phosphate backbone and the…
