    C) It is isolated from a virus

    D) It remains active at high temperature

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to amplify a DNA segment or to synthesize in vitro the multiple copies of gene (or DNA) of interest, using two sets of primers and the enzyme DNA polymerase.
