                5'3'
                       Y                              Z

ANSWER
The correct option is C.
If the molecule undergoes one round of replication, the the TWO THREE PRIME ENDS in the daughter molecule will be shorter than those in the parental molecule. 
DNA replication always results in the production of two daughter DNA molecules. During replication, each strand in a DNA molecule serves as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. Each strand has two ends, the five prime and the three prime ends, these ends give direction to the DNA strands. During replication, the DNA polymerase enzyme add nucleotide to the three prime end of the DNA molecule, thus moving in that direction.
