(C) Okazaki fragments are short,newly synthesized $DNA$ fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during $DNA$ replication.They are synthesized in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction and are later joined together by the enzyme $DNA$ ligase to form a continuous strand.Therefore,Okazaki fragments are observed during the process of $DNA$ replication.

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$ and select the correct answer using the code given below in the lists.

List-$I$ List-$II$

$a$. Ligase Joins short segments of $\text{DNA}$ together.

$b$. $\text{DNA}$ polymerase Cuts $\text{RNA}$ at specific $\text{RNA}$ sequence.

$c$. Helicase Breaks the hydrogen bonds between complementary pairs during $\text{DNA}$ replication.
