Understand the question is asking about the specific shape of the DNA molecule.
Recall that DNA is composed of two strands twisted around each other, forming a characteristic shape.
Recognize that the term 'double helix' describes this twisted ladder-like structure of DNA.
Differentiate this from other structures such as 'alpha helix' (common in proteins) and 'beta-pleated sheet' (also a protein structure).
Conclude that the correct term for the twisted ladder shape of DNA is 'double helix'.
