When Bacterial DNA Replication Introduces a Mismatch in a Double-Stranded

When bacterial DNA replication introduces a mismatch in a double-stranded DNA, the methyl-directed repair system:

A) cannot distinguish the template strand from the newly replicated strand.
B) changes both the template strand and the newly replicated strand.
C) corrects the DNA strand that is methylated.
D) corrects the mismatch by changing the newly replicated strand.
E) corrects the mismatch by changing the template strand.
