Solution
The correct option is C Ligase
DNA ligase is a specific type of enzyme, a ligase, that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond.
Okazaki fragments are short, newly synthesized DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during DNA replication.
Enzyme ligase connects (ligates) the two Okazaki fragments into one continuous newly synthesized complementary strand.
