Answer:

<em>The correct option is B)Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand.</em>

Explanation:

The pattern of DNA replication is continuous for the leading strand as DNA polymerase III works in this direction i.efrom the 5 prime to the 3 prime. To complete the lagging strand, fragments are formed on the lagging strand which are known as Okazaki fragments. The enzyme DNA polymerase I removes ribonucleotides from the 5 prime of the Okazaki fragments which are replaced by deoxyribonucleotides and hence, the lagging strand start to replicate in this manner.
