Options:

Carboxylase

Ligase

Proteolytic

Polymerase

Correct Answer:

Polymerase

Explanation:

The enzyme responsible for DNA replication is Polymerase.

DNA polymerase is a crucial enzyme involved in the process of DNA replication. It functions by synthesizing new strands of DNA complementary to the existing DNA template during replication. DNA polymerase catalyzes the addition of nucleotides to the growing DNA chain and helps ensure accurate replication of the genetic material.
