A primer is a brief nucleic acid collection that gives a place to begin for DNA synthesis.
In dwelling organisms, primers are brief strands of RNA. A primer ought to be synthesized via way of means of an enzyme known as primase, that's a form of RNA polymerase, earlier than DNA replication can occur.
Because DNA polymerase can handiest synthesize DNA in a 5′ to 3′ direction, the opposite new strand is prepare in brief portions known as Okazaki fragments. The Okazaki fragments every require a primer made from RNA to begin the synthesis. The strand with the Okazaki fragments is called the lagging strand.
So,the correct answer is option b.RNA.
