Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

This sort of replication, since it involves one nucleotide being placed right after another in a series, is called continuous. Whereas the DNA polymerase on the leading strand can simply follow the replication fork, because DNA polymerase must move in the 5' to 3' direction, on the lagging strand the enzyme must move away from the fork.
