$DNA$ replication is

A

conservative and discontinuous.

B

semi-conservative and semi-discontinuous.

C

Solution

$DNA$ replication is the process in which a double stranded $DNA$ molecule is copied to produce two identical $DNA$ molecules. In $DNA$ replication each new strand is half the original parent strand (hence called semiconservative) and one strand is synthesized continuously and other discontinuous (hence called diccontinunus)
