  • C
    Restriction endonucleases
  • D
    Western blotting
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
Polymerase chain reaction
$\text{DNA}$ polymerase enzyme synthesizes $\text{DNA}$ strands by adding deoxyribonucleotides to $3\ '$ end of the primer via phosphodiester bonds; it uses parental $\text{DNA}$ as a template.
Kary Mullis got Nobel prize, in $1993$ in chemistry, for the invention of polymerase chain reaction $\text{(PCR)}.$
