Solution

The correct option is B Messelson and Stahl
Semi-conservative replication describes the mechanism by which DNA is replicated in all known cells. This mechanism of replication was one of three models originally confirmed by Messelson and Stahl. Semi-conservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand.
