Answer:

The correct answer will be option- to make exact copy of the DNA and pass on to the offspring

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA replication is a complex process which produces the exact copy of the DNA which gets passed on to the generations. The process requires various enzymes and gains its energy from the ATP so is known as ATP dependent mechanism.

The process has to take place before the division of genetic material during cell division cycle so it takes place during S or synthesis phase of the interphase of the cell cycle.

Since DNA replication produces exact or replicated copies of the genome in organism therefore, to make an exact copy of the DNA and pass on to the offspring is the correct answer.
