Reverse transcriptase enzyme is an enzyme that is used to generate cDNA from RNA template through the reverse transcription process. This is seen in many retroviruses to replicate their genomes.
DNA polymerase enzyme helps in DNA synthesis using DNA template, a process called replication.
DNA ligase is used to join DNA fragments during DNA repair or its replication.
So, the correct option is 'Reverse transcriptase'.
