A) the leading strand is synthesized continuously toward the replication fork,whereas the lagging strand extends away from the fork and is synthesized in short segments called Okazaki fragments
B) the leading strand is synthesized away from the fork and is made in short segments called Okazaki fragments whereas the lagging strand extends continuously toward the replication fork
C) the leading strand is made in the 5'-3' direction by DNA polymerase III,whereas the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction,3'-5'
