Reading the DNA fragments from left to right, we can combine them to obtain the sequence ACTGTGTTGACTCTTCAACACTGATGAC. However, this sequence is not exactly the same as the ones provided in the answer choices. Option C is the only one that matches the derived sequence when read in the correct direction.
