There are not only one but two correct option, which are A and B.

DNA polymerases begin their synthesis at many points of initiation. Following the binding of specific proteins, the double helix opens to allow startup.

DNA synthesis begins on RNA / DNA primers consisting of primase and DNA polymerase a. The replication continues in one direction: in this sense one of the two strands of the DNA ("direct" strand) is traversed by the enzyme in the 3 '→ 5' direction, which allows the synthesis of another strand in the direction 5 '→ 3'. The DNA-ligases then provide the link between the different fragments of the new DNA.

The synthesis of the other strand ("delayed" strand) is more complex because the enzyme travels this strand from 5 '→ 3'. The primase and DNA polymerase α synthesize 30 nucleotide primers in front of the replication zone, and the DNA polymerase constructs small DNA fragments in the 5 '→ 3' direction (approximately 200 nucleotides; Okazaki). Ribonucleases destroy the RNA / DNA primers of the previous fragment and the fragments are then linked together by DNA ligase.

Which action shows a creative approach to the process of scientific inquiry?

denpristay [2]

developing a technique for observing an object that has yet to be observed

Thus, to achieve the creative approach above the researchers must utilize and apply the scientific method in gathering, interpreting and analyzing empirical evidence. 

Empirical evidence, data or knowledge is an obtained set of facts or figures or existing and presenting data that was yielded during the process of experimentation or scientific discovery. These empirical data or evidence is further studied and investigated by the scientist in a formal scientific approach which follows the steps of observation, making a hypothesis, gathering data, interpreting data and evaluating the data. These steps of the scientific approach are vital in the course to explain and discuss the result and evidence obtained during the process.

Solutions to complex environmental problems can be very costly. Communities or other affected groups might perform a cost-benefi

Zigmanuir [339]

A citizen will be looking for environmental benefit and public health, which will upsurge the quality of life of the community. The citizen may look for the benefits worth the cost. The CEO of the company might be worried about the costs that appear too high to warrant making environmental initiatives cost-efficient for the business.

A city manager might or need to have the most balanced understanding, desiring to make improvements, which would better the lives of the citizens of the city, but that would keep the city within the municipal budget limits.
