a. It is broken down as a new DNA strand forms.
?% b. It serves as the template for the creation of two complete sets of DNA.
c. It is incorporated into the new DNA strand.
d. It is converted to RNA.
I had picked B. on my test but I got it wrong :(, which would be the right answer?

It's answer C. In a molecule of DNA, one is the 'old' strand, and one is the 'new' one.

The term 'incorporated' is misleading.
During replication each old strand serves as a template and when the replication is completed each double helix has one old strand and one new strand. The old and new strands are complementary.
In this case however the answer will be C

DNA has what we call semiconservative replication. THe parent strands seperate and each form a template for the enzymes to create a new complementary strand. So the answer is C.
