Answer #1

In this case, the replication occurs from 5’ to 3’ direction and the newly strand will have be read in 3’ to 5’ direction. So, B and C are not correct. In the replication process, we are forming a DNA strand, not a RNA strand (RNA has U on its sequence), so the option D is incorrect.

The correct answer is A
