Which bond is used to stabilize the double helix of DNA?

Which bond is used to stabilize the double helix of DNA? Correct Answer Hydrogen bond

Polynucleotide runs on the backbone of the phosphate-sugar chain. The base pairing of these nucleotide gives secondary structure. The secondary structure of DNA is its double helix which held together by hydrogen bonding between the bases.
