Solution

The correct option is D 1 and 3 are correct
DNA ligase is an enzyme which can connect two strands of DNA together by forming a bond between the phosphate group of one strand and the deoxyribose group on another. So the point 1 is correct.
A restriction enzyme, restriction endonuclease is an enzyme that cleaves DNA into fragments at or near specific recognition sites. So the point 2 is incorrect.
Helicase breaks hydrogen bonds between the paired bases and unwinds the double helix ahead of the advancing DNA polymerase. So the point 3 is also correct.
Hence the correct answer is option D.
