A specific sequence of bases in a DNA molecule codes for the lipase enzyme.

The base sequence that codes for the lipase enzyme is duplicated during DNA replication.

Explanation:

In a DNA molecule only a specific sequence known as "gene" codes for functional proteins like enzymes while rest of the part of DNA is regarded as spacer/junk DNA. During cell division, the entire genome i. e. all the chromosomes are duplicated/replicated so that one of the copies is retained in the mother cell while another copy is donated to the daughter cell.

Other two options are wrong because production of RNA molecule is known as transcription not translation and production of lipase enzyme which is a protein is known as translation not transcription.
