Solution

The correct option is B One polypeptide
DNA synthesis takes place by a polypeptide. In nature, such molecules are created by all living cells through the process of DNA replication, with replication initiator proteins splitting the existing DNA of the cell and making a copy of each split strand, with the copied strands then being joined together with their template strand into a new DNA molecule.
