B. can be amplified in volume to result in many copies of the segment.

Explanation:

The purpose of PCR is to amplify small amounts of DNA so that you can get a sample large enough to analyze (or use for some other purpose), especially in a crime scene. A. is referring to restriction enzymes, enzymes that cut at specific locations along DNA strands to create "sticky ends." C. is referring to restriction enzymes once again. D. is simply irrelevant.
