Answer:

C. Helicase

Step-by-step explanation:

Helicases are the enzymes involved in unzipping of the double stranded DNA molecule at beginning of DNA replication. They do so by binding at DNA sequences called origins on DNA molecule then they break the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs causing the two strands of DNA molecule to unzip.
