During replication of DNA, which one of the following enzymes polymerizes the Okazaki fragments?

A
DNA Polymerase I
B
DNA Polymerase II
C
DNA Polymerase III
D
RNA Polymerase
High-Yield Explanation
On 5’----> 3’ Strand (Lagging Strand/Discontinuous Strand/Retrograde Strand). Synthesized in discontinuous manner. Small fragments of DNA are in short spurts of 100–250 nucleotide (1000–2000 bp in prokaryotes) called Okazaki fragment synthesized in 5’ --- 3’ direction. By  DNA Polymerase III in prokaryotes. By DNA Polymerase δ  in eukaryotes.
