Answer
Correct option: A.
Replication
Okazaki segments are formed during $\ce{DNA}$ replication.
The $\ce{DNA}$ polymerase on the lagging strand synthesizes discontinuous short $\ce{DNA}$ segments known as Okazaki fragments in $5′−3′$ direction.
$\ce{DNA}$ ligase joins the Okazaki fragments and forms the continuous complementary strand.
