To solve this problem, we need to understand the role of Okazaki fragments during DNA replication.$\newline$DNA replication involves the synthesis of a new strand complementary to the template strand. This process occurs in the 5' to 3' direction.$\newline \bullet$The leading strand is synthesized continuously towards the replication fork.$\newline \bullet$The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously away from the replication fork.$\newline$Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA nucleotides synthesized discontinuously and later joined together by DNA ligase.$\newline$These fragments are used to elongate the lagging strand.$\newline$Therefore, the correct option is:$\newline$Option 3: The lagging strand away from the replication fork.
