During DNA replication, the DNA polymerase enzyme produces a complemetary strand from each of the original strands.

What is DNA replication?

It is the process by which DNA produces a copy of itself at the time of cell division. In the process of replication, the initial step is the unzipping of the double helix structure of the DNA. This is done with the help of enzyme helicase. The unzipping creates a Y shape composition called replication fork.

Towards the replication fork, one of the strands is oriented in the 3' to 5' direction, known as the leading strand. The other strand in the 5' to 3' direction is the lagging strand, which is away from the replication fork.

The primer combines with the leading strand, and marks the intiation point of the synthesis of DNA. After this, DNA polymerase combines with the leading strand and add complementary nucleotide bases in the 5' to 3' direction.

In the lagging strand, numerous primers come and bind, later the chunks of DNA called Okazaki fragments are supplemented to the lagging strand in the 5' to 3' direction, by the enzyme DNA polymerase. This kind of replication is termed discontinuous as the Okazaki fragments are joined up later.

Thus, the correct statement is the second one, that is,  the DNA polymerase enzyme produces a complemetary strand from each of the original strands.
