Answer
A
identification of DNA in bandages that contained pus
B
identification of a pattern in ratios of DNA bases
C
creation of an accurate model of DNA structure
D
creation of an X-ray diffraction image of DNA structure

Explanation

Rosalind Franklin used X-ray diffraction to study DNA and produced images that revealed important clues about its structure, including its helical shape. Choice B, creation of an X-ray diffraction image of DNA structure, describes her contribution. Watson and Crick later used this evidence, along with other findings, to build a model of DNA.
