Within each fork, one DNA strand, called the leading strand, is replicated continuously in the same direction as the moving fork, while the other (lagging) strand is replicated in the opposite direction in the form of short Okazaki fragments.

Answer:
The strand having the polarity of 3' to 5' from top to bottom, gets complementary with the leading strand.
While the strand, which has polarity of 5' to 3' (from top to bottom) forms the lagging strand in form of okazaki fragments.
Sorry for not attaching the diagram.
Hope it helps
