Which of the following may be a further advantage of using RNA primers during initiation of a strand in replication?
A)Using primers may decrease mistakes; such errors as mismatched bases are more likely during initiation than elongation,and the use of a short,removable RNA segment avoids inclusion of mismatched bases.
B)Using primers is faster.
C)The RNA of the primers is more stable.
D)The RNA of the primers is more likely to lead to changes in base sequence,which enhances the rate of mutation and thus evolution.
E)The RNA of the primers allows more efficient packing of the chromosomes after its removal.

Using primers may decrease mistakes by avoiding mismatched bases during initiation, which is more error-prone than elongation. The use of a short, removable RNA segment also allows for the correction of any potential errors without affecting the rest of the DNA strand. The other choices do not accurately describe the advantages of using RNA primers in replication.
