The correct answer is one strand of each new molecule comes from the original molecule.

Explanation:

DNA replication is process by which the parental DNA is converted into two daughter DNA molecule. DNA replication is semi conservative in nature which means each newly synthesized daughter DNA molecule contain 50% parental DNA characteristics.

Each newly synthesizd daughter DNA molecule contain one parental strand and one newly synthesized strand ... Thus half of the characteristics of parental DNA is being conserved in each newly formed daughter DNA molecule.
