The correct answer is: DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes DNA during the DNA replication by adds nucleotides to the 3’ end of a primer. This means that the new chain is formed in a 5’ → 3’ direction.
Because double-stranded DNA is antiparallel, DNA polymerase moves in opposite directions on the two strands-leading and lagging strand.
The leading strand is copied continuously since DNA polymerase is moving towards the replication fork. The lagging strand is copied discontinuous. DNA polymerase is moving away from the replication fork (and helicase that separates the strands), so it must constantly return to copy newly separated stretches of DNA. So, the lagging strand is copied as a series of short fragments-Okazaki fragments that are joined together by a combination of DNA pol I and DNA ligase.

Explanation:
Considering the seven major evolutionary trends in animal body organization against the available definition, here is the final answer to the question.
1. Body Symmetry - A. animal body shape, whether radial or bilateral symmetry
2. Cellular organization - B. a collection of cells or whether it has tissues, organs, and organ systems
3. Body segmentation - C. specialization of distinct body regions; repetitive units
4. Cephalization - D. a concentrated sensory structure at the anterior end of the animal
5. Digestive Tract - E. a single opening or two openings to take in food and/or eject waste
6. Appendages - F. legs, tentacles, antennae, and fins
7. Body Support System - G. skeletons or hydrostatic structures
