Dear Student,

Okazaki fragments are short, newly synthesised DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during DNA replication. They are complementary to the lagging template strand, together forming short double-stranded DNA sections.
The Enzyme ligase is responsible for  connecting (ligating) the two Okazaki fragments into one continuous newly synthesised complementary strand.

Hence the given statement "DNA ligase breaks apart the Okazaki fragments" is incorrect.
Hence, the correct option is "B"
