Solution

The correct option is C Restriction endonuclease
Restriction endonucleases recognize specific sequences in the DNA and cut the DNA into fragments.
Each restriction endonuclease has a specific restriction site; cuts at specific sites produce uniform DNA fragments with sticky or blunts ends that are easily ligated with other DNA strands.
Hence, the correct answer is C.
