Solution

The correct option is B DNA amplification
  • The polymerase chain reaction is a biochemical technology.
  • It is used to amplify or to increase the number of a single copy of DNA with high accuracy and speed.
  • During this process, the Taq polymerase enzyme polymerizes the new DNA strand by using single-stranded DNA as a template.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
