Lays down short RNA primers.
A
Helicase
B
RNA Primase
C
DNA Polymerase III
D
DNA Polymerase I
E
Ligase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Primase adds the RNA primers ahead of the 5’ end of the lagging. This allows DNA polymerase III to add the Okazaki fragments to fill in the space between primers. This process repeats itself until the entire strand has been replicated.

Detailed explanation-2: -RNA primase attaches a short RNA molecule called a primer to the DNA sequence, which is removed upon the completion of DNA replication. Another enzyme involved in gene expression is called RNA polymerase, which uses template DNA strands to form RNA molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA primase forms an RNA primer, and DNA polymerase extends the DNA strand from the RNA primer.

Detailed explanation-4: -RNA primers are key to initiating DNA synthesis. They provide the initiation sequence necessary for DNA polymerase to synthesize new strands. The RNA primer is introduced at the template DNA site by primase enzyme on both the leading and lagging strands.
