The correct answer choice that describes the structure of DNA is:

A sugar-phosphate backbone with nitrogen bases in the middle forming a double helix.

This describes DNA's structure accurately, where the sugar and phosphate make up the backbone, and the nitrogen bases pair in the middle to form the double helix shape.
