In which direction do the DNA dependent DNA polymerases catalyse the polymerization reaction?

In which direction do the DNA dependent DNA polymerases catalyse the polymerization reaction? Correct Answer 5’ → 3’

The direction for DNA dependent DNA polymerases to catalyse the polymerisation reaction is the 5’ → 3’ direction. But, in this direction of polarity, a discontinuity can be observed. These discontinuous strands of DNA can then be linked together with the help of DNA ligases. But, in the direction of 3’ → 5’ in the DNA, the replication process can be seen to be continuous.

Consider the following statements regarding DNA replication and choose the correct answer:
