No, it is double stranded.
Explanation:
DNA comprises two long strings of nucleotides. They are wound in a double helix structure, similar to a spiral staircase.
Each strand has a "backbone" made of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups. Attached to each strand are nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine).
RNA, on the other hand, is single stranded.
