Solution
GGCC CCGG
Explanation:
Restriction enzymes recognize palindromic DNA sequences, which read the same in both ways on complementary strands. The sequence GGCC/CCGG is palindromic, which makes it a common restriction enzyme recognition site, but the others are not symmetrical and hence unsuitable.
