Answer:
The correct answer is- lagging strand
Explanation:
During the DNA replication both the strands acts as template strand and DNA polymerase replicated both the strand. During this replication, one strand is replicated continuously which is called the leading strand and another strand is not synthesized in a continuous manner.
So small DNA fragments are formed due to discontinuous replication of DNA which is called Okazaki fragments. These fragments are then joined by DNA ligase and the strand is called lagging strand.
Therefore the strand which is synthesized in a discontinuous manner is called lagging strand.

Answer:
DNA replication is a process where the DNA is copied and replicates to produce the 2 identical copies of the molecule. Strands of DNA molecule work as a template for the production of complementary strands. The DNA splits synthesizing a fork. A new DNA is always synthesized in a 5' prime to 3' prime manner. Replication of both the DNA strands goes in two different ways.
1) Leading strands: It is a strand which is goes to the direction same as the replication fork movement and synthesized in 5'-3' prime direction. This strand formation is occurred as nucleotides are continuously added to the 3' prime end after polymerase reads the DNA template (original).
2) Lagging strands: It is a strand which is goes to the opposite direction as the replication fork movement and synthesized in 3'-5' prime direction. It is synthesized in fragments which are known as okazaki fragments. Lagging strand synthesis needs RNA primase.
