DNA exists in a double-stranded form whereas RNA is mainly a single stranded molecule. What is the likely reason for DNA being double stranded?

#Section 3: Genetics, Cellular and Molecular Biology
  1. RNA strands cannot form base pairs
  2. Double stranded DNA is a more stable structure

  3. DNA cannot exist in the single stranded form
  4.  It is easier to replicate double stranded DNA than single stranded RNA
