5 is the correct answer.
Since the strands are anti-parallel, we match the 3' and 5' ends, and vice versa.
5'AGGC<b>U</b>AAC 3'
matches perfectly (A-T and C-G) with
3'TCCGATTG5'
The U in the original strand is probably a typo and should have been a T.
The other option in choice 5 is just the reverse of the same strand.

Correction: The U is present in an RNA strand that matches up with A, so it is not a typo.
