DNA

In DNA duplication, there are some enzymes that contribute to this process being possible, such as the enzyme DNA Polymerase.

DNA duplication is semi-conservative duplication, as a template of the old DNA strand is used to form a new strand.

Therefore, the second DNA molecule that was formed is identical or nearly identical to the first DNA molecule.

Alternative "C" is correct.
