Solution

The correct option is C Joining bits of DNA
Ligase enzyme is used for joining bits of DNA. It is an enzyme that can catalyze the joining of two large molecules, by forming a new chemical bond. It can join two complementary fragments of nucleic acid and repair single stranded breaks that arise in double-stranded DNA during replication.
So, the correct answer is option C.
