    1. Polymerizes the telomeric DNA sequences without using any template

    Explanation:

    Telomeres are the DNA caps present on the end of the chromosome and they are present to protect the ends of the DNA strand from the DNA repair mechanism.

    The telomeres possess overhangs that are not recognized by the DNA repair system but provide an RNA template that is recognized by the telomerase enzyme. The telomerase enzyme binds to the RNA template and synthesizes a new strand of DNA from RNA.

    Thus, the selected option is correct.
