Which of the following best describes the reasons why the sliding clamp is able to confer processivity on DNA polymerase and not DNA primase?

A. The sliding clamp coats the template strands and stops DNA primase from synthesizing new DNA strands.

B. The sliding clamp can induce a conformational change in DNA polymerase but not DNA primase. This conformational change permits polymerase but not primase to bind to the template.

C. The sliding clamp disassociates DNA primase from the template strand whereas securing DNA polymerase to the double helix.

D. The sliding clamp can physically associate with DNA polymerase but not DNA primase.
