$DNA$ replication is semi-conservative as

A

only non-parent strand acts as template.

B

both strands of new molecule are synthesized de novo.

C

one of the strand in each new molecule is parental and the other is new.

D

daughter strands are dispersive.

Solution

Replication is the formation of exact carbon copy or replica. According to semi conservative method of $DNA$ replication, the two strands of $DNA$ molecule separate and the complementary strand is synthesized from the medium. After the completion of replication, each $DNA$ molecule would have one parental and one newly synthesized strand.
