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.
